What happens in Westminster?
Local rules matter more than people expect. City of Westminster handles planning for Westminster, and its view of external shutters and frontage changes shapes what we recommend.
What is worth knowing?
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.
What electrics are needed?
A power supply near the box, installed by a qualified electrician. We show the position on the drawing.
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.

Will this need planning permission in Westminster?
Usually yes, if the shutter goes on the outside. External shutters change how the building looks, so City of Westminster 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.
