Frequently asked questions
Do I need planning permission for solar in Bishopston?
For an unlisted house in England, front and rear roof panels can be permitted development if the general limits are met. In a conservation area or World Heritage Site, the specific exclusion is equipment on a wall, balcony or roof enclosure that fronts a highway. Check for an Article 4 direction and any planning conditions with your council; listed houses need separate consent.
