What are the planning rules?
In England, a new shopfront usually needs planning permission if it materially changes how the building looks, while like-for-like repairs usually don't. Signs fall under the Advertisement Regulations 2007, external shutters often need permission, and listed buildings need listed building consent. Building Regulations cover safety glazing (Approved Document K), access (Approved Document M) and energy (Approved Document L).
