Has anyone actually read the New Planning rules? A rather important change has been made and i've heard nothing about it.

The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (Amendment) (England) Order 2012

I will highlight the part that will kill off the longed for pre-july rush. PLease sombody tell me i am wrong on this... Essentially all domestic jobs will now require planning permission.


Permitted developmentA. The installation, alteration or replacement of solar PV or solar thermal equipment on a building other than a dwellinghouse or a block of flats.
Development not permitted

A.1. Development is not permitted by Class A if—

(a)the solar PV or solar thermal equipment would be installed on a wall or pitched roof and would protrude more than 200 millimetres beyond the plane of the wall or the roof slope when measured from the perpendicular with the external surface of the wall or roof slope;

(b)the solar PV or solar thermal equipment would be installed on a flat roof, where the highest part of the solar PV or solar thermal equipment would be higher than 1 metre above the highest part of the roof (excluding any chimney);

(c)the solar PV or solar thermal equipment would be installed on a roof and within 1 metre of the external edge of that roof;

(d)the solar PV or solar thermal equipment would be installed on a wall and within 1 metre of a junction of that wall with another wall or with the roof of the building;

(e)in the case of a building on article 1(5) land, the solar PV or solar thermal equipment would be installed on a wall or roof slope which fronts a highway;

(f)the solar PV or solar thermal equipment would be installed on a site designated as a scheduled monument; or

(g)the solar PV or solar thermal equipment would be installed on a listed building or on a building within the curtilage of a listed building.
 
You could debate what an 'external edge is. Does the ridge count as an external edge? Do the eaves count as an external edge? Or is it just the (external) verge that counts as an external edge?
 
Did **** myself just a little bit there. So the ammendment was only for non domestic and in all other cases there was no ammendment?

I was away when it came out couldn't understand why it had not been mentioned on here. Cheers guys...
