Approval for installation of solar panels at university campus

By Joseph Macey 16th Sep 2021

Prior approval has been granted for the installation of solar panels at Penryn Campus.

"Prior approval" is a formal submission to a local planning authority and the purpose of it is to seek confirmation that specified parts of a development are acceptable - before work can begin.

If the plans go ahead, it will see solar panels fitted across university campus rooftops on non-domestic buildings (mix of flat and pitched roofs) at Penryn Campus.

In a concluding statement, Louise Wood, Service Director for Planning and Sustainable Development at Cornwall Council said:

"Prior approval is not required providing that the buildings used are non-domestic."
