Solar PV Panels and planning permission
Planning permission is not normally required for domestic roof installations but there are some restrictions:
- The solar PV array must not protude more than 200mm above the roof line;
- The solar PV array must not be higher than the highest part of the roof excluding chimneys;
- The solar PV array must not face onto or be visible from the highway if located within a conservation area or a world heritage site;
- As far as practicable the array should be sited to minimise the effect on the external appearance of the building.
