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 makes the difference?
What electrics are needed?
A power supply near the box, installed by a qualified electrician. We show the position on the drawing.
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.
How long does a shutter last?
Curtains and guides can last many years with planned servicing. Motors, springs and locks go first, and a busy shop will wear them faster.

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.
