What can you expect in Orpington?
Orpington sits in Greater London, and London Borough of Bromley is the planning authority. For most shops that means checking consent before the order is placed, not after it.
What should you check before you decide?
Can it have a shutter later?
Yes, but it is far neater to allow for one now. Tell us at survey, and we will leave height behind the fascia even if the shutter comes later.
How is the frontage measured?
We measure the structural opening, not the old frame. Lintel condition, floor level and how square the opening is all get recorded at survey.
How do you deal with the threshold?
We aim for level or near-level access. New doors need thought about wheelchair and pushchair users, and we check the floor before we promise anything.
How much will it cost?
| Opening width | Typical unit | Guide price plus VAT |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 3 m | A typical single shop unit | £3,600 to £5,995 |
| 3 to 4 m | A wider single unit | £4,695 to £7,795 |
| 4 to 5 m | A double-fronted or corner unit | £5,895 to £9,695 |
| 5 to 6 m | A large double unit | £7,195 to £11,995 |
Guide prices, not offers. Your written quotation sets the final figure.
Will this need planning permission in Orpington?
A like-for-like replacement often does not need permission, but a visibly different frontage usually does. The application goes to London Borough of Bromley. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
