Rules that apply in England
Grilles in rented homes
Landlords in England must keep rented homes free from serious hazards under the Housing Health and Safety Rating System, which includes fire. A grille that stops a tenant using an escape window can create a hazard, so grilles in rented homes should have keyless internal releases.
External grilles and planning
External grilles and shutters on shops and other commercial buildings normally need planning permission from the local council because they change the building's appearance. Many councils' shopfront guides favour internal, open-lattice grilles, particularly in conservation areas.
Grilles across exits in business premises
In workplaces and other non-domestic premises, including the common parts of blocks of flats and HMOs, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes the responsible person keep escape routes and emergency exits available and easy to open while people are present. A grille across an exit should be unlocked and parked open whenever the building is occupied, and covered in the fire risk assessment.

Do grilles need planning permission in East Sussex?
Usually not for grilles fitted inside the glass. External grilles and shutters on commercial buildings normally need planning permission, and listed buildings may need listed building consent. The rules section on this page has the detail.
Can you work outside business hours?
Early or late slots can usually be arranged for shops and offices, subject to the installer's schedule.
Inside or outside the glass?
Inside in most cases: it is protected, keeps the building looking the same and rarely needs planning permission.
