Rules that apply in Highlands & Islands
Planning questions anywhere in Highlands & Islands go to your planning authority (the local council, or a national park authority).

Perforated roller shutters in Highlands & Islands: questions
Are perforated shutters less secure?
They are slightly lighter than solid shutters of the same gauge, but still form a strong physical barrier. Solid bottom laths add kick resistance.
Can I see into the shop through a perforated shutter?
Yes, especially when the shop is lit. Punched vision laths give a clearer view.
Do I need permission for perforated roller shutters in Highlands & Islands?
New external shutters on shopfronts and street-facing elevations usually need planning permission. If you are unsure, ask your council; we provide product details for any application.
Is the survey free in Highlands & Islands?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Highlands & Islands are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
