Usually not, as roof panels are permitted development. You do need permission for listed buildings, and you may need it in conservation areas if panels face the road. Check with North Devon Council first if your home is in either.
Who signs off solar pv work in Lynton & Lynmouth?
Your electrician, if they're on a scheme like NICEIC. They test the work, issue an Electrical Installation Certificate and notify North Devon Council building control. Hiring someone who isn't registered means paying the council to inspect it, which costs far more.

Do I need planning for solar pv in Exmoor National Park near Lynton & Lynmouth?

Do I need consent for solar pv in a listed building in Lynton & Lynmouth?
If the work changes the building's character, yes, you need listed building consent from North Devon Council. New cable routes through old plaster, visible kit on the front and roof panels are the usual triggers. Like-for-like repairs usually don't. Ask the conservation officer first; it's free.
Is parking a problem for electricians in Lynton & Lynmouth?
It can be. Steep, narrow streets in Lynton & Lynmouth mean vans often park a walk away, and big jobs need kit carried up. Tell the electrician about steps and parking when you book. It rarely changes the £7,425 price, but it helps them plan the day.
Who do I call in a power cut in Lynton & Lynmouth?
National Grid (South West) runs the network here. If the whole street is dark, call 105, it's free and they'll give you a time. If it's only your house, check your trip switches first, then call an electrician.
