Shopfront & Advertisement Design
SPD
The Shopfront & Advertisement Design Supplementary Planning
Document (SPD) was adopted on 29 November 2010 as part of the
Council’s Local Development Framework (LDF).
It supplements the policies of the saved Barrow-in-Furness Local
Plan (Barrow-in-Furness Local Plan Review 1996-2006), the Barrow
Port Area Action Plan Development Plan Document and one saved
policy of the Structure Plan. The SPD sets out detailed planning
and design guidelines for the external alteration of commercial
buildings, primarily shops and offices. The SPD forms part of
the Council's efforts to protect and enhance the Borough's town
centres.
Development of the SPD
A draft version of the SPD was made available for comment
from 23 July to 3 September 2010. The comments
received and a revised draft were then considered at the
Council's Executive Committee on 17 November 2010 when the
Committee resolved to adopt the SPD.
Competition
As part of the consultation on the development of the SPD, a
competition to find the Borough's favourite shopfront was
held. Further information on the
competition results.
