Shopfronts SPG
Planning system changes
We are upgrading our system between Friday 11 September and Friday 25 September, and some services will be unavailable whilst we complete the work.
Deadlines will be extended accordingly.
Applications can be submitted through the Planning Portal, but they will not be processed during this period.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
The Shopfronts supplementary planning guidance (SPG) provides detailed guidance on the design requirements for shopfronts in the borough. Advice regarding the design of fascia signs and illumination are included in this document.
Guidance should be considered alongside Policy LP8 Shopfronts found in the Local Plan 2023. You may also wish to refer to the Security for shops: Design guidelines, which can help you in creating a secure shopfront.
The SPD was adopted in November 1988.
