Planning and regulations for Blantyre homes
The planning authority for Blantyre is South Lanarkshire Council. A replacement garage door is usually outside planning control, but it is worth a quick check where conditions apply.
In Scotland a door that does not materially change the look of the house is not usually development. A visibly different door in a conservation area is likely to need permission, and listed buildings need consent.

Questions from Blantyre customers
Is an up-and-over door dangerous when its springs go?
A failing up-and-over door can drop suddenly. If yours is slamming shut or feels heavy, stop using it and get it checked.
Can the new door be wider than the old one?
Fitting behind the opening often gives more clear width than the old frame did, but the brick opening itself sets the limit.
