Yes. I've heard of a case where people wanted to put one of those
office-style suspended ceiling grids in to block the sun and could not.
Moveable blinds or temporary whitewash is permitted but fixed screens not.

I don't follow. A suspended ceiling is utterly non-structural - it's
interior decor. It doesn't affect the roof in any way. It's none of
the planners business surely?
