Solar panels

About Planning Portal adverts

Planning Permission

The installation of solar panels and equipment on residential buildings and land may be 'permitted development' with no need to apply to the Local Planning Authority for planning permission. There are, however, important limits and conditions, detailed on the following pages, which must be met to benefit from these permitted development rights.

You should discuss with the Local Planning Authority for your area whether all of the limits and conditions will be met.
