Permitted Development Planning Guidance for Solar PV in England
This article provides an overview of the planning guidance in England relating to the Permitted Development (PD) of solar Photovoltaic (PV) projects, particularly commercial rooftop. The available planning guidance for PD PV projects is presented and discussed, with reference to solar glint and glare, so that developers and planners can…
Glint and Glare issues for solar developments in Ireland
Solar Power in Ireland Many countries the world over are continually progressing their renewable energy efforts, and Ireland is no exception. A perennial option for green energy – solar photovoltaics (SPV) – has been slower to take off in Ireland than it has in the UK for example . However,…
How to interpret Pager Power Glint and Glare modelling charts
This article presents an overview of the modelling charts produced with our bespoke Glint and Glare analysis tool. For this, an example Glint and Glare chart has been produced. An example solar farm location was chosen to the west of the Pager Power office, with the receptor being the top…

Wind Farm Radar Objections in France
Familiar foe Radar installations are not popular sights for wind turbine developers in any country. Potential interactions between electromagnetic signals and physical structures, like wind turbines, mean that interference can occur. Wind turbines are particularly problematic for radar because of the rotating blades. This means the turbine can be mistaken…
Tall structures that can obstruct aviation?
Tall structures can obstruct flying and affect aviation safety when in the vicinity of an aerodrome and penetrate the obstacle limitation surfaces. Also they can be an En-Route obstacle when located between flying destinations . Examples of Tall Structures The term tall structure includes tall buildings, television (TV) masts, power plant chimneys, radar…
