Do I need planning permission or building regulations for a Solardome geodesic dome?
No planning permission is required in the UK for any of our domes, under normal circumstances and if built further than 5metres from a building. If closer than 5metres it is classed as an extension and standard allowances apply. However, if your School is a listed building, in an area of outstanding natural beauty or a conservation area, you will need to check with your local planning office.
