What happens in Harlow?
Working in Harlow means working with Harlow District Council on planning, and sometimes with a landlord on the lease. We flag both early, so that neither one holds up your opening date.
What should you think about first?
What will my insurer want?
Some insurers name a shutter type or rating, and many ask for locks and service records. Ask them before you order, as it saves a change later.
Surface box or hidden box?
A surface box under the fascia is quicker and cheaper. A hidden box looks far better, but needs height above the door head and a removable access panel.
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.

Will this need planning permission in Harlow?
Usually yes, if the shutter goes on the outside. External shutters change how the building looks, so Harlow District Council will normally expect a planning application. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
