Current adopted A Shop Keepers Guide to Securing their Premises SPD (2012)

The Shop Keepers Guide to Securing Their Premises Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) was adopted by the Council on 19 December 2012 and supersedes Section 6 of the Shop Front Design Guide SPD.

This SPD forms the local planning guidance on shop front security measures including the installation of new or replacement external roller shutters and is a material consideration in the determination of relevant planning applications. It should be read in conjunction with the Bradford Core Strategy and other relevant Development Plan Documents.
