ᐅ Does a balcony sunshade structure require a building permit / planning permission?

Hello,
I live in a condominium unit in a building with six apartments. It is a new build.
I have a large balcony facing south.
Since there is no overhead covering, I want to get two aluminum posts (same material and color as the balcony railing) from the balcony manufacturer and have them installed at the corners of the balcony railing. Then I plan to attach a sunshade sail between the two posts and fix it above the balcony door.
The posts would be easy to remove. The sunshade sail would only be hung up when the weather is suitable (of course, not overnight).
I also have a neighbor who has a south-facing balcony as well (currently with no covering or other installations).
Question:
Do I need to
a) submit this plan to the homeowners’ association for approval?
b) obtain a permit from the local authorities (building permit / planning permission)?
I am the owner of this apartment.
Thank you very much,
erika

Erika, the original poster, initially wanted to have a proper roof installed. ...
This is still under discussion! However, a roof will probably not be affordable. The sunshade would be an alternative during the summer to block the sun!
