Solar car port

    Just wondering if there are any guidelines on adding a solar car port to the front of a property in terms of planning permission, as in is it required?

    Basically a frame with a few posts and then solar panels on top, the sides remain open, West Dublin, area would be about 6m x 7m or enough to cover two cars.

    An ordinary car port at the front of a house isn't exempt so needs planning permission. Likewise a car port with solar panels would also require planning permission. It's a good idea though but I'm not sure it would get permission.

    Planning required.
    Depending on house and site layout it could be possible to get planning.

    Well that's annoying, I doubt SDCC would even entertain the idea in a semi-d estate.

    I guess it's back to cleaning bird crap from the cars 😫

    Interested to find out if anyone here actually applied for one of these and got it approved?
