I have a job to install a flat roof system to a garden outbuilding at the end of the customers garden, Does anyone know if I need planning pertmission ? my understanding is that if the panels are mounted greater than 1m from the roof perimeter I wont require it? If this is the case it would not make the system feasible!!
 
If it is on a flat roof, I assume you will be using mounting frames/pods of some description, therefore you will be higher than 200mm from the roof, so planning will be required.

I hope this helps.
 
Yes I do intend to use a mounting system, so it looks like that nice little number will take a little longer than hoped - Thanks for your reply.
 
If it is a commercial, for the new permitted rights, it is one meter in from edge of roof, and not visible from a highway, not too sure about distance from boundary, I believe that is for ground mounted.
