What can you expect in Doncaster?
Doncaster sits in South Yorkshire, and City of Doncaster Council 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?
How long does a shutter last?
Curtains and guides can last many years with planned servicing. Motors, springs and locks go first, and a busy shop will wear them faster.
Steel or aluminium laths?
Steel is stronger and heavier. Aluminium is lighter and quieter, which helps under flats. Most shops are well served by either.
What about a fire exit?
A shutter must never trap people in. If it covers an escape route, it needs to be open while the premises are occupied, or opened easily from inside.
How much will it cost?

| Up to 3 m | A typical single shop unit | £2,195 to £2,895 |

Probably, if it is external. City of Doncaster Council decides. Many councils resist solid external shutters, and some resist perforated ones too. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
