This depends on the building, its location and the relevant local requirements. An awning is fixed to the exterior of a building and may therefore affect its appearance. Permission may be needed for certain buildings or locations. Check with the relevant local authority before installation.
Whether permission or consent is needed may depend on the building, its location and how the awning changes the appearance of the façade. If you live in a flat or a managed property, also check with the freeholder, landlord or managing agent. Have the awning dimensions, model and a photograph of the façade ready when seeking advice.
