The "GPDO Part 14 Classes A and B - LDC Appeal Decisions" document has been updated to include 1 additional appeal decision relating to solar panels (1 "LDC Appeal" and 0 "Enforcement Appeals"), for which the conclusions are as follows:

May 2013 - Code P14CAB-007 (appeal allowed):

• This appeal decision provides an example of how to assess solar panels against conditions A.2(a) and A.2(b), which require that such equipment is, so far as practicable, sited so as to minimise its effect on “(a) … the external appearance of the building” and “(b) … the amenity of the area”.
  [Conclusion: Solar panels on west-south-west front roof of main house would comply with A.2(a) and A.2(b)].
