Wick is in Scotland, so planning decisions sit with your planning authority (the local council, or a national park authority).
- Weather: Perforations let some wind and rain through, so think about the glazing behind and draughts in exposed spots.
- Planning: A perforated shutter is often the type councils will accept on a shopfront, but an application is usually still needed.

They keep shopping streets looking lit and active after hours rather than lined with blank steel, which many shopfront design guides encourage.
