DMTS 9 Shopfronts and signs

Permission will be granted for new shopfronts and signs where:

  • the design is related to the scale, proportion and appearance of the building;
  • the design respects the character and appearance of the location;
  • the design retains, and where practicable provides, a separate entrance to upper floor accommodation where this is separate from the ground floor use; and
  • principal entrances to upper floor accommodation avoid the rear of buildings where practicable as this can give rise to personal safety and security issues.

Solid shutters which present blank frontages to shopping streets will not be permitted.
