Planning application

Job Centre Plus Westwey House Westwey Road Weymouth DT4 8TG

Granted Dorset P/PASO/2023/02057 Prior Approval - Roof Mounted Solar PV on a Non Domestic Building

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

The Solar PV installation will be installed onto the roof of the Jobcentre on Westwey Rd, Weymouth. The panels will be fixed to the pitched roof in the middle of the building. These again will not protrude more than 0.2 m from the roof surface or be within 1m of the edge of the building. The solar modules themselves are a dark blue / black colour in appearance with an anodised aluminium frame. The modules consist of silicon wafers embedded between low reflection glass and an EVA backing. We are proposing installing 160 panels. Each will be 500W in capacity giving a site wide total of 80 kWp.
