Council planning record

Solar Panels to cut carbon footprint and provide green energy and improve EPC. Output estimated to produce almost sufficient energy to match annual usage so only 10-15% reliant on the national grid. Battery storage also included to minimise use during peak times to limit stress on the national grid until it is upgraded nationally. To be fitted to our south facing and west facing roof elevations by a recognised national company, who have successfully fitted solar panels to nearby properties in the village, including direct neighbour. There will project less than 20cm above the roof tiles and no panels to be fitted to walls. Roof load bearing structure assessed to be able to accept the weight and attachments required. The location of the panel placement has been chosen to maximise electricity generated the East and North facing elevations are unstable.
