Buildings: Solar Power

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the potential costs and benefits of requiring plans for all new commercial and public car parks to include solar panels.

Answer

We recently consulted on proposals for a new permitted development right which would enable the construction of solar canopies in ground-level off-street car parks in non-domestic settings without a planning application. Further announcements will be made in due course.
