Proposal
Prior approval for the installation of 129 No PV Solar Panels to create a system with a maximum output of 56.12kWp, with the design being created to minimise the visual impact on the surrounding area. The panels would be installed on the flat roof areas of the Community Centre and would have minimal visual impact on the local main roads and houses around the Community Centre.
