DM 14 Shopfront Design

Applications for new or replacement shopfronts will be determined having regard to:

  • the architectural merit of the existing shopfront;
  • the character of the area;
  • the suitability of the overall form, scale and architectural detail in relation to the overall appearance of the building;
  • the suitability of the materials in relation to the overall appearance of the building;
  • the suitability of the elements to which the display of advertisements are to be fixed in relation to their impact on the overall appearance of the building;
  • the suitability of any advertisements with regard to lettering, colour, form of illumination and materials in relation to the overall appearance of the building.

Proposals will take account of the Council’s Shopfront Design Guide, particularly in relation to Listed Buildings and shopfronts within Conservation Areas.
