BEFORE YOU ASK FOR A QUOTE
For Billericay, the useful step is to establish the planning authority and check the address for listed or conservation status yourself, because the council pages were not machine-verifiable when this guide was written.
GOV.UK's local council finder confirms which council handles planning for a postcode. For Billericay that is Basildon Borough Council. Ask the council whether the address is inside a conservation area or is listed before the survey; do not rely on this guide or a street name for that answer.

Under the England permitted development rules as amended on 27 August 2026, pitched-roof panels should project no more than 200mm and must not exceed the highest part of the roof, and panels are not permitted on a building in the grounds of a listed building or scheduled monument. Ask the installer to confirm the design against these limits in writing.
