In the UK and have been asked to fit unit,asked the local council(anonymously) who say planning permission is required.
Shop owner says go ahead and fit I'll deal with it later retro style.
Corner shop just off main town shopping street so unit is on side street 5K unit would be 3 metres from ground level.
Not happy about doing it, commercial properties only overlook but it is a nice area without any other units up so considering pulling the plug as I don't want to be on the end of any legal stuff.
Anyone had this type of situation in the UK.
