Our Essex Solar Panels Hub has information on solar panels in Essex.
Below, we have listed conservation areas in Essex. Solar panel installations are usually considered permitted development and don’t require planning permission providing certain conditions are met. Some restrictions may apply in conservation areas or on listed buildings. If you have planning questions related to solar panels in conservation areas, section 4 or listed buildings you can contact your local District or Borough council.
