Most houses in Liverpool don't need planning permission for roof panels. The exceptions are listed buildings and the city's 36 conservation areas, which cover 9% of the city and about 19,000 properties, from Sefton Park, Rodney Street and Canning Street to Wavertree Village, Woolton Village and West Derby. Some have Article 4 directions that add extra controls. Liverpool City Council handles planning, and we check your address before we quote.

The national rules changed on 27 August 2026: planning permission for solar panels has the current limits.

SP Energy Networks runs the local electricity network. Most home systems only need notifying after they're switched on; bigger ones need approval first. We handle both.
