A broad frontage may offer little benefit if obstructions hide it or entry is awkward. Check pedestrian sightlines, lighting and display space, and investigate signage rules. Match the frontage to your activity rather than paying extra for appearance alone.

Practical steps

  1. Photograph the frontage from usual approach routes without hiding obstructions
  2. Test entry for customers, deliveries and accessibility needs
  3. Request written conditions for frontage alterations or signage
