May 25, 20233 yr Having read with interest the recent post on here about ground mount i decided to read up a little on the options. Can anyone clear up my confusion over the max size please. Variously i have read 9 metres squared and 9 square metres.
May 25, 20233 yr Max size in what respect? Can be as big as want, doesn't mean it complies with any planning rules.
May 25, 20233 yr Author To be regarded as PD i believe. From that i guess the question is what if you want to exceed the PD max size. Will it entail a planning request?
May 25, 20233 yr 9 m² https://www.planningportal.co.uk/permission/common-projects/solar-panels/planning-permission-stand-alone-solar-equipment-panels-not-on-a-building-but-within-the-grounds-of-a-house-or-a-block-of-flats
May 25, 20233 yr Max area is 3m x 3m (I don't think you could get away with 4.5m x 2m to reach 9m2, for example). Must be at least 5m away from any boundary. Max height of 4m. Would make for a decent shed too.
June 14, 20233 yr Hi Guys Hope you don't mind me jumping in on this, but we are considering installing a 17-panel ground system on a boundary fence, short end to end as we have the space and its low profile, long thin strip of solar panels. We are surrounded on all 4 sides by farmers' fields. Do we still need to keep to the 5m rule?
