Cheltenham’s Regency terraces and villas in Montpellier, Lansdown and Pittville sit inside a large central conservation area, and many are listed. A lot of them have shallow slate roofs hidden behind parapets, which can suit panels that are not seen from the street. Listed buildings need consent from Cheltenham Borough Council, so that check comes before any quote. Fairview and St Paul’s have Victorian terraces, Leckhampton and Charlton Kings mix Victorian, inter-war and later houses, and Hesters Way and Whaddon are post-war estates.
The Cotswolds National Landscape wraps around the town, taking in Leckhampton Hill and Cleeve Hill, and homes on that edge face tighter rules for wall and ground-mounted panels. Newer estates on the western side have plain roofs and drives for a charger. The network is run by National Grid Electricity Distribution. Cheltenham is more than 90 minutes from Ferndown, so the first survey is a video call, then a site visit, with visits and installs grouped. The design and the warranties are the same as anywhere else we cover.
