Planning and building regulations for Lerwick

In Scotland, energy standards come from Section 6 of the domestic Technical Handbook, and most extensions need a building warrant before work starts.

Your council will confirm whether your lantern is permitted development under Scotland's rules, particularly for listed buildings.

Building regulations in Lerwick are checked by your local authority building standards (verifier) service. Some like-for-like replacement work does not need a building warrant but must still meet the building standards. Your council's building standards service can confirm.
