Permission and Rutland County Council
The local planning authority for Oakham is Rutland County Council. Replacing an existing frontage in the same style seldom needs permission, whereas a new look, an outside shutter box or a lit fascia generally needs an application. The survey confirms which rules apply.
Price guide
The entry price is about £5,200 plus VAT. Width, height, finish and access move the final figure. Once issued, the price is fixed for 90 days unless the specification changes.
Timescales
Manufacture usually takes 4-5 weeks after drawing sign-off. On site, most Oakham jobs take one or two days. If you cannot close, we can work outside trading hours.
What gets fitted
Folding the whole frontage back turns the glass line into open trading space, so pavement seating reads as part of the room. Popular choices include low-profile threshold when open; traffic door built into the run for daily use.
