Report 06 - September 1993

This booklet is still relevant to todays conservationists, developers and retailers concerned with maintaining quality in the town centre environment.

The enormous interest shown in the document Shopfronts and Advertisements in Historic Towns, from developers, retailers, conservationists and the media convinced the Forum of the benefit of producing a further good practice guide giving more detailed technical guidance. 

It is not intended that the Book of Details and Good Practice in Shopfront Design  should be followed slavishly in all circumstances, nor is it intended to be a definitive document.  It should be studied in conjunction with local traditions and be seen as a context for individual local authority’s statements of guidance.

The document is intended to act as a forum for discussion and co-operation between local authorities and retailers, with the ultimate aim of improving the environmental quality of traditional shopping centres.
