PART 43 INSTALLATION OF NON-DOMESTIC MICROGENERATION
EQUIPMENT
Class A
Permitted development
A 
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 20 centimetres 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 and would protrude more than 1 metre above the plane of the roof;
(c) the solar PV or solar thermal equipment would be installed on a roof and within 1 metre of the external edge of the 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 or on land within a World Heritage Site, 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 building within the curtilage of a listed building; or
(g) the solar PV or solar thermal equipment would be installed on a site designated as a scheduled monument.
Conditions
A.2 
Development is permitted by Class A subject to the following conditions—
(a) solar PV or solar thermal equipment must, so far as practicable, be sited so as to minimise its effect on the external appearance of the building;
(b) solar PV or solar thermal equipment must, so far as practicable, be sited so as to minimise its effect on the amenity of the area; and
(c) solar PV or solar thermal equipment no longer needed for or capable of microgeneration must be removed as soon as reasonably practicable.

Permitted development
B 
The installation, alteration or replacement of stand alone solar within the curtilage of a building other than a dwellinghouse or a block of flats.
Development not permitted
B.1 
Development is not permitted by Class B if—
(a) in the case of the installation of stand alone solar, it would result in the presence within the curtilage of more than one stand alone solar;
(b) any part of the stand alone solar—
(i) would exceed 4 metres in height;
(ii) would, if installed on article 1(5) land or on land within a World Heritage Site, be installed so that it is visible from a highway which bounds the curtilage;
(iii) would be installed within 5 metres of the boundary of the curtilage;
(iv) would be installed within the curtilage of a listed building; or
(v) would be installed on a site designated as a scheduled monument; or

Conditions
B.2 
Development is permitted by Class B subject to the following conditions—
(a) stand alone solar must, so far as practicable, be sited so as to minimise its effect on the amenity of the area; and

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

Interpretation of Part 43
G 
For the purposes of Part 43—
 “block of flats” means a building which consists wholly of flats;
 “microgeneration” has the same meaning as in section 82(6) of the Energy Act 2004;
 “stand alone solar” means solar PV or solar thermal equipment which is not installed on a building; and
 “water source heat pump” means a heat pump where the collecting medium is water.”
