SD5 Shop front roller shutters
Roller shutters covering the whole of the frontage of an individual ground floor façade will be discouraged. Efforts should be made to minimise any impact.
Applicants should:
- Plan for and accommodate roller shutters internally, where possible
- Incorporate security glass in shop windows as an alternative to shutters.
- Only provide security grilles, where absolutely necessary and these should be open mesh and located internally.
- Mount all box housings containing roller shutters or grilles internally behind the fascia.
- Consider removable external window security grilles of an open mesh form in certain circumstances.
