Rules that apply in Highlands & Islands
Across Highlands & Islands, planning follows the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 and the Scottish permitted development rules.
- Safety devices: Powered doors need force limiting or a safety edge and must be set up and tested at installation. We hand over the instructions and a record of the settings.
- Power cut: Every powered door has a manual release so it can be opened by hand. If the garage is your only way into the house, ask about battery backup.
- Planning: Replacing a garage door is not usually a planning matter, but listed buildings and conditions on newer estates can restrict changes, so check if unsure.
