Prior notification for the installation, alteration or replacement on non-domestic properties of (a) micro-generation solar thermal equipment; (b) micro-generation solar PV equipment; or (c) other solar PV equipment on the roof. This is not a planning application because it relates to development that is permitted by Government Regulation. It will not therefore be reported to the Planning Committee but considered by officers under delegated powers. Comments received will be considered but if notification of a decision is not made to the Applicant within 56 days of the date of registration of the proposal, it can proceed.

PLANNING CONTEXT

Rules and protections at this location

Planning rules and protections that may affect this location.

PLANNING RESTRICTIONS

What applies at this location

These describe protections or restrictions on the location. They are not planning applications or council decisions.

What could affect a property here?

These are planning protections or restrictions that apply at the location we checked. They can affect what you are allowed to build, alter or demolish. The number beside a heading simply tells you how many overlapping map records were found — it is not a rating and it is not the number of planning applications.

Conservation areaApplies here

This location is inside Bedford. Conservation areas can mean tighter rules for changes to the outside of a property, trees and demolition.

National planning data does not include every local rule. Check the relevant council where a decision depends on it.

Optional analytics is off until you allow it.
