Planning committee

Decided by Stratford on Avon Planning Committee on 8 Apr 2026.

Refused by 8 votes to 2

As officers recommended.

  • Officers advised refusal because the panels would harm the street scene and Conservation Area, with limited public benefits unable to outweigh that harm.
  • The town council supported renewable energy, while no third-party responses were received and consultees raised no objection subject to a bat note.
  • The committee refused the application by 8 votes to 2, with 1 abstention, using the two report reasons and its note.
