CURRENT 2026 PLANNING CONTEXT
Domestic solar permitted development rules changed in August 2026
The permitted development rules for domestic solar equipment in England were updated on 27 August 2026, with transitional arrangements following the change. That makes accurate, current project-specific checking especially important. Many installations can still be permitted development, but roof type, projection, location, designated land and the building context can affect the route.
What WEDRAWPLANS can show clearly for planning
Roof plan & array layout
The proposed panel arrangement shown accurately in relation to ridges, hips, valleys, parapets, rooflights and roof edges.
Elevations & projection
Relevant elevations showing panel position, height and projection so the local planning authority can understand visual impact.
Manufacturer dimensions
Panel sizes and associated external equipment dimensions can be coordinated from the manufacturer's information supplied for the project.
Flat-roof solar
Clear drawings showing panel position and overall relationship to the roof where flat-roof planning or prior approval issues need to be considered.
Conservation & sensitive sites
Drawings that make roof visibility, siting and the relationship to the existing building clear where additional planning scrutiny is likely.
Associated external equipment
Where relevant to the planning package, batteries or other external equipment can be shown and dimensioned alongside the solar proposal.
Real WEDRAWPLANS solar-project experience

Our role is the architectural and planning presentation: clear roof plans, elevations, locations and dimensions that can be assessed by the council. Electrical design, system performance and MCS installation design remain with the specialist solar installer.

Solar panel planning FAQ
Do solar panels need planning permission in London?
Many domestic solar installations can be permitted development, but the result depends on the building, roof type, siting, projection, listed or designated context and the specific installation. The domestic solar permitted development rules changed in August 2026, so current eligibility should be checked for each project.
What drawings are useful for a solar planning application?
A solar planning package may include an existing and proposed roof plan, relevant elevations, panel layout, key dimensions, projection information and notes identifying associated external equipment where relevant.
Can you show manufacturer panel dimensions on the drawings?
Yes. We can coordinate manufacturer dimensions and the proposed array layout into the architectural planning drawings. The installer or MCS specialist remains responsible for electrical, performance and installation design.
Can you prepare solar drawings for conservation or sensitive locations?
Yes. Where solar equipment is on a listed, conservation or otherwise sensitive site, we can prepare drawings that clearly show roof location, visibility, dimensions and the relationship to the building so the planning route can be assessed properly.
Do you cover every London borough?
Yes. WEDRAWPLANS provides solar panel planning drawing services across every London borough and selected surrounding M25 areas.
