Eastfield, 8 North Mossley Hill Road, Liverpool, L18 8BJ

Planning appeal 3337471 at Eastfield, 8 North Mossley Hill Road, Liverpool, L18 8BJ (Liverpool City Council) was allowed on 15 July 2024 by Inspector Whalley J, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: Whether the installation of 22 solar PV panels on the south facing roof plane would constitute permitted development under Part 14 Class A of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development Order) (England) 2015, having regard to the conditions that the equipment must be sited so far as practicable to minimise its effect on the external appearance of the building and the amenity of the area, particularly given the location within Mossley Hill Conservation Area.

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the installation of 22 solar PV panels on the south facing roof plane would constitute permitted development under Part 14 Class A of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development Order) (England) 2015, having regard to the conditions that the equipment must be sited so far as practicable to minimise its effect on the external appearance of the building and the amenity of the area, particularly given the location within Mossley Hill Conservation Area

What decided it

The south-facing roof plane is the only practicable location for the solar panels to function efficiently, and the limited public visibility due to screening vegetation and boundary walls means the 'so far as practicable' condition to minimise effects on appearance and amenity is satisfied.
