Solar in a Conservation Area on a Listed Building

Moving into a Georgian listed building in a conservation area means that there are many restraints on what can be done. One common misunderstanding is that Grade II listing is only for the external features of the building. In fact, the listing covers everything within the curtilage of the property, inside and out at the time of listing (in our case 1953). Two major projects were undertaken:

1. Retrofitting high performance windows to the original Georgian specifications.

2. Build a solar canopy in the rear of the house

We got Listed Building Consent for both projects. We will have a story board to explain the project and take questions. More detail in the case study at https://climateconnectionsplymouth.co.uk/projects/case-study-improving-comfort-and-energy-efficiency-in-a-listed-georgian-townhouse/

The project is at the back of the house and is accessed via Mulgrave Street. Visitors should not come to the front of the house.  The back will be open and you can’t miss the solar panels. Parking: Metered parking is available in Athenaeum Street and surrounding streets. No public parking is available on Mulgrove St. Bus route 25 has two stops near the property. Citadel Road and LeighamStreet.
