APPRAISAL

By full committee on …… 14 December 2022 …… with …… 7 …… members present

Issued on 14 Dec 2022

1. Positive support		2. No objection
3. Objection	X	4. Objection unless revised as below
5. No comment/neutral		6. Lack of detail
7. Decision already issued

Reason for objection:

Objection. The proposed panels would be the first of their kind in this road and possibly in the CA. They can be clearly visible front & rear (Grove Lane) of the property. Furthermore, they would be ‘over the roof’ rather than integrated, so sub-optimal aesthetically. Tesla or similar solar roof tiles would be a far preferable solution in a Conservation Area.
