Shopfront Design Guide
This guide outlines the design principles which should be followed when making changes to shopfronts, including colour, signage and advertising, lighting and important information about alterations to windows and doors, renders and pointing.
The design guidance is generally applicable across all four towns, but users should also take note of the special considerations which are outlined for each town. Where guidance in the special considerations contradicts the general guidance, the special considerations should be followed.
The guide aims to support high quality proposals for the creation of new shopfronts and the alteration of existing shopfronts which acknowledge and reflect the character of the town they are in and make a positive contribution to its appearance.
This document is a technical note which provides updated guidance on shopfront design and reflects changes in planning policy. It sits alongside the following documents which have been formally accepted by the Council as Supplementary Planning Guidance and which can be accessed through the following links:
