The planning authority for Bathgate is West Lothian Council. A replacement garage door is usually outside planning control, but it is worth a quick check where conditions apply.
Scottish rules normally allow a like-for-like garage door without permission. Conservation areas are stricter because the householder permitted development class for external alterations does not apply there.
