How does it work in Portlethen?
Portlethen sits in Aberdeenshire and Moray, and Aberdeenshire 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?
Can it have a shutter later?
Yes, but it is far neater to allow for one now. Tell us at survey, and we will leave height behind the fascia even if the shutter comes later.
Should the stallriser stay?
A stallriser protects the bottom of the glass from kicks, trolleys and cleaning water. On older streets it is also part of the look.
Which colours work best?
Dark greys and black are the most requested because they frame the shop well. In a conservation area, ask us first, as colour can matter to the council.
Will this need planning permission in Portlethen?
It depends on how much changes. A new layout, new materials or a moved door usually needs permission from Aberdeenshire Council. In Scotland, work can also need a building warrant before it starts, and listed buildings need listed building consent from the council.

Does a new shopfront in Portlethen need planning permission?

Does steel rust?
Not if the finish is right and stays intact. It is galvanised or primed, then powder coated.
