Hi Robert

Planning permission has been relaxed for solar panels for many years, with only listed building and ‘areas of natural outstanding beauty’ being restricted.

It really depends on your local area and getting quotes from local installers here; whom will already have a good idea about councils attitudes in their working areas.

I would suggest that with any ‘non-standard’ type of installation as you are suggesting, I would liaise and put together a proposal first, then discuss with your council to ascertain feasibility with your documentation if required.

I have seen arrays in the most of unlikely of places nowadays – so never say never.
