Do You Need Planning Permission to Install Solar Panels on a Flat Roof?

Typically, no. In many jurisdictions, installing solar panels on a flat roof falls under permitted development, meaning you generally don’t need to apply for planning permission.

However, there are a few conditions:

Size Restrictions:

The solar panels should not exceed the highest part of your roof.

Listed Buildings:

If your building is listed, you may need special consent.

Conservation Areas:

In conservation areas, planning permission might be required.
