There are plans to install solar panels on the roof of a care home near Bath to improve its energy efficiency and reduce its carbon footprint.
The application seeking a Certificate of Lawfulness for the proposed development at St Teresa’s Nursing Home at Corston has been lodged with Bath & North East Somerset Council by Hybrid Energy Limited.
The home at Corston Lane is within Corston Conservation Area and the Green Belt.
The scheme proposes the installation of photovoltaic panels arranged as rows of panel units along the roofs facing south and east.
The application says the arrangement has been carefully considered to sit low within the landscape and to avoid any adverse impacts on the setting of the home and the openness of the Green Belt, as well as ensuring it remains well screened from public view.
The planning reference is 25/00064/CLPU.
