Solar Panel Planning permission is not usually required, as you are permitted to make certain minor changes to your home without needing it, and installing a solar panel comes into this category. These changes are called 'permitted development rights' - however, if you live in a listed building or in a conservation area you may need consent, as these development rights do not apply.

In all cases we advise that you contact your local authority planning department for advice and also check if building regulations might apply.

There are three possible outcomes from this telephone conversation with the council representative:

You will have been informed that you have 'permitted development rights' and you can go ahead and get your solar panel installed

You will have been informed that you do not have 'permitted development rights' and you need write to the council with details of the panel and where it is to be installed.

You will have been informed that you need solar panel planning permission
