The criteria for requiring a prior approval application for these types of solar developments are quite complex. Mainly, the requirement is there to ensure that the local authority can consider proposals when they will impact certain designated areas (as per details below).
There is no national guidance on the fee category for large scale ground mounted solar PV installations. However, normally such applications fall within Category 5 (erection, alteration or replacement of plant or machinery) of the Town and Country Planning (Fees for Applications and Deemed Applications) as amended.
A.1 Development is not permitted by Class A if— (a) the solar PV or solar thermal equipment would protrude more than 0.2 metres 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;
Solar photovoltaic (PV), which converts sunlight into electricity, is an important source of renewable energy in the 21st century. PV plant installations have increased rapidly, with around 1 terawatt (TW) of generating capacity installed as of 2022.
The Roadmap further states that in November 2012 the UK had 1.4GW of installed solar PV capacity in operation and that analysis indicates that the market could bring forward a total of 7–20GW of solar PV by 2020. The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) sets out the national planning policy context for renewable energy.
Solar PV farms should normally be regarded as a temporary use of land. It is therefore likely that planning permissions will limit the duration for which the system can remain in place. Planning permissions will normally; Be for a temporary period only from the commissioning of the facility.
