This document currently contains 3 appeal decisions (3 "LDC Appeals" and 0 "Enforcement Appeals"), for which the conclusions are as follows:

January 2012 - Code P14CAB-004 (appeal dismissed):

  • For the installation of solar panels on a flat roof, A.1(a) does restrict the amount by which the solar panels can protrude above the level of the flat roof.
  • It is not possible as a single operation to erect an extension under Part 1 of the GPDO with attached solar panels under Part 14 of the GPDO.
    [Note: In my opinion, the above conclusion is questionable].
