3. Solar panels The solar PV panels shall be installed with black PVC coloured bird-proofing mesh which shall remain in place for the lifetime of the development. The solar PV panels and any associated equipment shall be removed as soon as reasonably practicable when no longer needed or used, and the roof surface shall upon removal of the panels be reinstated to its former appearance using tiles to match the remainder of the roof surface at the time. Reason : To ensure a satisfactory form of development in the interests of the amenities of residents and the character and appearance of the area having regard for policies DC1, CS5 of the Local Plan and section 12 of the NPPF.
4. Reason for Approval The application is satisfactory in that the design and appearance of the solar panels to the front elevation of the existing modern detached garage accord with the principles of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and, where appropriate, the Council has worked with the applicant in a positive and proactive way in line with paragraph 38 of the NPPF (2025). In addition, the solar panels to the front elevation of the existing modern detached garage accord with the Local policy requirements (policies CS4 and CS5 of the Councils Local Development Framework) and the emerging Local Plan. In particular, the proposed solar panels to the front elevation of the existing modern detached garage have been sited to ensure their appearance has a minimum impact on the setting of the listed building and the character and appearance of the wider conservation area and to ensure there will be no detrimental impact on the amenity of the neighbouring properties. The application is therefore considered to be acceptable, fully in accordance with the relevant policy guidance and there are no material considerations which indicate that the application should be refused.
