The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 allows homeowners in England to install solar panels on their roofs without needing planning permission, under certain conditions. The panels must not be higher than the highest point of the roof and must not protrude more than 20 centimeters above the roof slope. However, if the property is located in a conservation area, these rules only apply if the panels are installed on a roof slope that does not face the street. To find out if you live in a conservation area, use the search feature of the council’s website.
