What happens in Lerwick?
Lerwick sits in the Scottish Islands, and Shetland Islands Council is the planning authority. For most shops that means checking consent before the order is placed, not after it.

What should you check before you decide?
Steel or aluminium laths?
Steel is stronger and heavier. Aluminium is lighter and quieter, which helps under flats. Most shops are well served by either.
What electrics are needed?
A power supply near the box, installed by a qualified electrician. We show the position on the drawing.
Do I need a safety edge?
That depends on the risk assessment. Powered shutters near the public are assessed against BS EN 12453, and we quote what the result calls for.
Will this need planning permission in Lerwick?
Usually yes, if the shutter goes on the outside. External shutters change how the building looks, so Shetland Islands Council will normally expect a planning application. In Scotland, work can also need a building warrant before it starts, and listed buildings need listed building consent from the council.
