How does it work in Edinburgh?
Edinburgh sits in the Lothians, and City of Edinburgh 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?
What will my insurer want?
Some insurers name a shutter type or rating, and many ask for locks and service records. Ask them before you order, as it saves a change later.
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.
Surface box or hidden box?
A surface box under the fascia is quicker and cheaper. A hidden box looks far better, but needs height above the door head and a removable access panel.
What should you budget?

|---|---|---|
| Up to 3 m | A typical single shop unit | £1,850 to £2,495 |

Will this need planning permission in Edinburgh?
Probably, if it is external. City of Edinburgh Council decides. Many councils resist solid external shutters, and some resist perforated ones too. In Scotland, work can also need a building warrant before it starts, and listed buildings need listed building consent from the council.
