Work to install 200 solar panels on a school’s roof is set to begin after plans were given the go-ahead.
In July, St Clement Danes School in Chorleywood submitted an application to install 140 panels on one area of pitched roof at its site and 40 on another section that is part of the same classroom building in July.
Three Rivers District Council judged that prior approval was required for the installation to go ahead and granted that approval yesterday (September 30).

Its decision notice stated that it had no issues with the design and external appearance of the development and that the 435-watt panels would not cause any harmful impact from glare on neighbouring land.
According to Heatable, it requires around 10 to 15 350-watt solar panels to power an average UK home.
Chorleywood Parish Council was consulted over the plan and raised no objection.
