Hi All,
I'm trying to get my head around UK permitted development rules.
So I have 9 x 410w solar panels which i want to use in my garden. So I understand that I'm allowed 9 square meters in size. however my problem is that i wish to add these panels to my fence line as this faces south and I'm able to get almost all day sun. However under permitted Development i need to be at least 5m from my boundaries (commercial 3m??) If I build a gazebo area near my fence line would this class as an outbuilding and avoid the boundary rule??? Or do i build a large shed/summer house and fit them on that??? Why have such a silly rule that at least 90% can't achieve in the rear garden but have enough sunlight to add solar panels.
