SD3 Shop front canopies & blinds

Shopfront blinds should be appropriate to the period and character of the building and sensitively integrated into the overall design. Blind boxes should not project forward of the fascia panel, nor obscure any architectural detail or features. Drawn sections will be required with the application.

Canopies and blinds should:

  • Be located between the pilasters, respecting the architectural sub-division of the building or terrace. They should not span more than one unit.
  • Only be sited at ground floor fascia level. Blinds will not be permitted over doors alone or upper storey or basement windows
  • Not interfere with the visibility of traffic signals or signs
