Business Solar Grants
5.Approvals
We advise you contact the TVBC duty planning officer via planning@testvalley.gov.uk to discuss your proposal. You will likely need to complete either an application to determine if prior approval is required for a proposed installation, alteration or replacement of other Solar Photovoltaics (PV) equipment on the roofs of non-domestic buildings, or a planning application, depending on your circumstances. The forms for these can be downloaded from Application forms | Test Valley Borough Council. The prior approval form is under the section ‘Permitted development requiring prior notification’.
Any determination of prior approval must have been made, or planning permission must have been granted before you submit your application for solar grant funding.
