Planning Permission
Mostly, planning permission is not required (especially in England) but you would be best off getting advice from your solar thermal systems provider or checking with your local authorities (especially if you live in other parts of UK or if you are in an area that is a World Heritage Site or a Listed Building or a Conservation Area). With the kind of focus UK government has on renewable energy, you can expect a hassle-free solar thermal installation.
