Why it was refused

The installation of solar PV equipment is not considered to benefit from a general planning permission under Article 3(1) and Part 14, Class J of Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development)(England) Order 2015 (as amended) as the solar panels as shown on submitted plans would be installed within 1 metre of the external edge of that roof.
