Rules that apply in Alloa
In Alloa, as elsewhere in Scotland, planning questions go to your planning authority (the local council, or a national park authority).
- Powered shutters: Powered shutters are set up so their safety devices work, and should be maintained. Workplace rules expect powered doors to be safe in use.
- Fire exits: A shutter must not obstruct a fire exit while the premises are occupied. We discuss operating procedures and any interlocks with you.
- Planning: A new shutter on a shopfront usually needs planning permission, because it changes how the building looks; councils often prefer perforated shutters or internal grilles, and some areas have shopfront design guides. Listed buildings also need listed building consent.

Usually yes. A new external shutter on a shopfront changes how the building looks, so most councils expect an application, and some have shopfront design guides that prefer perforated shutters or internal grilles. We can supply drawings and product details.
Is the survey free in Alloa?
Yes, for new installations. We tell you the cost of any repair or service visit before booking.
Do I need permission for shop roller shutters in Alloa?
