10 Berkeley Place, Walcot, Bath, Bath and North-East Somerset, BA1 5JH.
Installation of nine solar pv panels on garden studio roof and the erection of a timber pergola in garden.
10 Berkeley Place (No.10) is located within the World Heritage Site and the Bath-City wide conservation area and is listed at Grade II. Numerous terraced listed buildings are in the immediate vicinity of the proposal site, on the southern side of Camden Road.
No. 10 is also subject to application 23/04613/LBA (Internal and external alterations for the installation of windows with slim double glazing to replace existing sash windows at rear of property, retrofit existing windows with vacuum insulated glass at the front of the property, installation of solar PV panels to garden studio and on south facing inner roof slope of main building, damp proofing to basement room, removal of paint to vault wall and facade of lower ground floor, and erection of pergola in garden.) The subject 2024 application appears to be the planning permission for the works to the garden studio, as referred to in the LBA application.
For clarity, the following comments only relate to the proposed panels for the garden studio.
The studio appears to be a result of application 17/02214/FUL and is located at the south-eastern end of the proposal site.
The installation will not detract from how the listed buildings are experienced and therefore their respective settings will be maintained, and views of the studio from public vantage points appear to be limited. The proposed panels will not harm the significance of the designated heritage assets.
BPT support and encourage the installation of photo-voltaic panels with the lowest possible visual impact, on roofs with low-visibility and low significance.
