Allow installation of solar panels for personal use without planning permission

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

Climate change is the biggest challenge we face. Making climate friendly energy accessible without the cost and time constraints of planning permission is key to meeting the UK's energy targets.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We can't accept your petition because we aren't sure what action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take.

Installation of solar panels is already considered "permitted development" - meaning that no application for planning permission is required - so long as certain conditions are met. You can find out more here:

You could start a new petition asking for those conditions to be changed if that is something you would like to see happen.
