Bath is the one place we cover where the planning answer comes before the roof answer. The Georgian city is a World Heritage Site and almost entirely a conservation area, and Bath and North East Somerset Council has specific guidance on solar: on listed terraces and visible slopes it is often refused, and where it is allowed it is usually in-roof or on rear elevations. We check your address against the council’s guidance before anything is designed.
Outside the historic core, Weston, Odd Down, Twerton, Combe Down and the villages towards Keynsham and Radstock are 1930s to 1980s housing where a standard system goes on without drama. Bath visits are grouped with Bristol and Swindon, with a video survey first.
