Set up alertsFrequently asked questions
Do you need planning permission for a new shopfront?
Almost always — shopfront alterations are not permitted development. In conservation areas and on listed buildings the design is also scrutinised closely and typically has to reflect traditional proportions and materials.
What is an Article 4 direction for shopfronts?
A council direction that removes specified permitted development rights in a defined area (often a historic high street or town centre). Within an Article 4 area, even minor changes that would normally not need planning permission can require a full application.
