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.
Planning in Scotland follows the Scottish permitted development order; your council confirms whether your lantern needs consent.
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.

Standard small sizes are often available from stock. Lead times are confirmed on your quote.
How quickly can I get a roof lantern in Lerwick?
Stock sizes are typically ready in 5–10 working days, made-to-measure in 3–4 weeks, plus delivery. Your quote gives the date for ZE1.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Lerwick?
Often not, but it depends on the roof, the property and whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Check with your council before ordering.
