Planning and building control in Lanarkshire

In Scotland, most fit-out work that alters the building needs a building warrant from the local authority before work starts, followed by a completion certificate. Planning permission and advertisement consent are separate, and Scottish councils publish their own shopfront design guidance.

  • Tobacco and vapes must be stored out of sight of customers, so the gantry needs closing doors or shutters.
  • Refrigeration needs dedicated circuits and ventilation space; confirm the supply capacity before ordering chillers.
