Proposal
Prior approval application for installation of roof-mounted solar PV array (389.5 kWp) made up of 779 x 500W PV panels. The panels have an anti-reflective coating and the inverters / electrical connection equipment will be housed internally; to minimise aesthetics. Whilst mature trees on the perimeter obscure visual impact even further.
