Proposal
Placement of 8 solar panels on flat roof of the stone barn outbuilding/annex. The solar panels would be placed on slight tilt in addition to the 7 degree slanting of the roof. This would increase the height of the roof by 200mm-300mm. However due to fact that the road that runs parallel to the building is sunken, it is not expected that the solar panels will be visible from directly behind the roof from current road level. AMENDED PLANS.
