About this application

This is a planning application for a solar installation at 266 London Road, Brookfield, Mallard House. Leicester has handled 2,222 applications of this type. This one was decided in 55 days. The site is in a conservation area. There are no previous applications recorded at this address. In the past year there have been 47 applications across Stoneygate.

Why it was refused

  1. Insufficient evidence has been provided to enable the Local Planning Authority to verify if the proposed solar PV equipment would comply with the relevant conditions and limitations of Class J of Part 14, Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended). The application does not therefore comply with Article 39(2)(b) of the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2015 (as amended).

From the council's decision notice.
