A new Shopfront Design Toolkit has been produced by Westminster Council to help businesses maintain, refurbish and replace shopfronts in a way that enhances individual buildings and the wider high street. The toolkit offers practical, step‑by‑step guidance to help businesses understand the process of making improvements and sits alongside our existing planning policies.
From signage to safety, and everything in between, the toolkit can help with advice on awnings, lighting, tables and chairs.
The toolkit is intended as a user-friendly manual for navigating shopfront improvements. For detailed advice on how to apply local planning policies relating to shopfront design, businesses should refer to the supplementary planning documents and guidance.
