Planning application

Foudry House The Street Mortimer Reading RG7 3NR

Awaiting decision West Berkshire 26/02095/LBC Heritage and listed buildings

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

Installation of Solar Panels into the valleys on the roof of the main house. Panels cannot be seen from any direction only from above. After consultation with the Conservation Officer the Solar Company has provided the following information: The roof is very capable to take the weight of solar panels, and the roof structure can be inspected by the Conservation officer if necessary to confirm this. The panels would be fitted to pitched roofs using a hook and rail system attached to the wooden rafters. The tiles are lifted in the places where the heavy-duty hook brackets are attached to the wooden rafters. The tiles are then replaced, and then aluminium rails are bolted to the hook brackets. The panels are then attached to the rails using metal clamps. Any cabling will run internally through the roof space and within the property. We do not expect any cabling to be visible from the exterior.The components are expected to be located within the property in an already existing plant room with ventilation.

About heritage and listed building applications

Listed building consent is needed for works that affect the special interest of a listed building, and carrying out such works without it is a criminal offence. More in our guide to planning application types.
