Replacement Shop Front

Planning Support for External Alterations to Commercial Premises

Client: Commercial Property Owner

Service Provided: Town Planning

Project Overview

Technia Environment and Planning Limited was appointed to provide planning support for the replacement of an existing shop front at a commercial unit. The approved works included the relocation of the entrance door, replacement of windows and fascia, installation of concealed roller shutters, and associated external improvements.

The project aimed to modernise the unit’s appearance while respecting the local character and enhancing functionality for all.

Our Approach

Working with the client and their design team, we provided planning advice and coordinated the submission of a successful application. Our approach included:

• Reviewing local planning policy and shop front design guidance.
• Advising on design revisions to ensure compliance with local character and amenity considerations.
• Preparing a comprehensive Design and Access Statement (DAS) to support the application.
• Submitting the planning application and managing liaison with the Local Planning Authority.
• Providing additional clarification and support during the determination process.

Outcome

Planning permission was granted, enabling the client to deliver a high-quality and secure shop front improvement. The approved scheme enhances the building’s visual appearance, introduces integrated security features, and creates a more accessible and welcoming entrance layout.
