DBE12 Shopfronts

The Council will require that:

  • new shopfronts are in keeping with the character and appearance of the upper elevations of the buildings on which they will be situated;
  • new shopfronts should not result in the removal or concealment of features which contribute to the character of the building;
  • new shop fascias are appropriate to the building (in terms of length, depth and materials);
  • new shop fascias should not extend uninterrupted across more than one shop unit; and
  • in conservation areas, original shopfronts and their surrounds are retained.
