"Measurement of the extension beyond the rear wall should be made from the base of the rear wall of the original house to the outer edge of the wall of the extension (not including any guttering or barge boards)."

For a government quasi-legal document I think it's pretty well written. Simple, complete, concise — pick two. They've dropped concise (there's a lot of repetition) which seems reasonable to me.
Up to 1 metre from the building for solar panels (not 200 mm), PD for wind turbines doesn't need MCS, can cover up to half the available curtilage with free standing PV (not limited to 9 m² of panels).... :tongue:
Edit: I see why though, it's published on some random blog page:

They need a link from their "Do you need permission?" section:

We need to do some significant repairs to our chimney when we do our loft converison but we don't need to "install", "alter" or "replace" it. I'd therefore assume "repair" is permitted development.
Glass G is to do with ASHP ?...

Mine is SW - what I did, was find a solar calculator, and got some sun height angles for June, and August - midday, 4pm etc. I then created some planes at these angles in Google Sketchup, and played around with eaves overhangs (don't forget gutters - they add a chunk too) and window sizes and shapes.
Alternatively, have you seen the Fakro / Velux retractable external awning blinds? Maybe you could find something similar, or just hang something removable from the eaves overhang?
There is no minimum separation distance from the house itself so in theory even a tiny gap would mean that it is an outbuilding and not another extension in addition to your PD extension.
This website has loads of useful calculators to help with shading for windows, sure one of them will be able to help you.
