System sizing for Hammersmith offices

Planning route — Hammersmith
Hammersmith & Fulham LPA. PV-supportive. Some Conservation Areas (Brackenbury, Hammersmith Town Centre). For most Hammersmith commercial offices, solar PV up to 50 kWp on non-listed buildings is Permitted Development under Class A Part 14 GPDO 2015. Above 50 kWp requires Prior Approval (56-day determination). Listed buildings need Listed Building Consent regardless of size — our 78% approval rate across heritage settings holds for Hammersmith too.
