How does it work in Arbroath?
Arbroath sits in Tayside, and Angus Council is the planning authority. For most shops that means checking consent before the order is placed, not after it.

What should you think about first?
What does the written quotation show?
Every item: frame, glass, doors, stallriser, strip-out and any electrics. It stays valid for 90 days, and nothing is ordered until you accept.
Which glass should go in?
Safety glass is needed in doors, side panels and low-level panes. Laminated glass is worth the extra if the street has a history of break-ins.
How is the frontage measured?
We measure the structural opening, not the old frame. Lintel condition, floor level and how square the opening is all get recorded at survey.
Do you need consent in Arbroath?
A like-for-like replacement often does not need permission, but a visibly different frontage usually does. The application goes to Angus Council. In Scotland, work can also need a building warrant before it starts, and listed buildings need listed building consent from the council.
