Planning requirements.
If you are thinking of making any changes to your property, including installing a
form of renewable energy, you must apply to the Building Control Office at your
local council for approval.
Planning permission may or may not be required, depending on such factors as:
location, individual planning department, nature of scheme, neighbors' opinions,
visual impact and proximity to public through roads.
Before beginning any work we recommend that you contact your local planning
department to determine whether planning permission is required.
