Reason:

No objection.

This site is in a strategic area of special character, not a CA. Nonetheless, we expressed some reservations about the earlier applications (21/03375 & 23/00177) for solar panels on neighbouring Brunswick Court - especially their visibility due to angled mountings - but acknowledge they were approved by officers &, therefore, create a precedent for these two other blocks on the Albany estate.
