The house is on a boundary of, but inside, a Conservation Area (not subject to Article 4 restrictions). It seems unclear, to me at least, whether Planning Permission is required to install PVs on the roof.
I can 'hide' them by installing on an East roof elevation & South garage roof, to the rear of the property: only West faces idirectly nto the Conservation Area.
ASHP is easier challenge through Permitted Development legislation, by adhering to a few basic criteria.
Given the whole project is a huge capital outlay, ie. ASHP, PV, Batteries; as well as updating the plumbing and insulation, I have paid the Council £80 for a Pre-planning Application to elicit an answer from their planning dept.
Has anyone gone down this route, please ?
