Summary
Solar panels are proposed on the flat roofs above Bedford School's sports hall and swimming pool. The panels could produce electricity for the school.
The work is proposed within Bedford School itself, so pupils and staff are at the site. The nearest hospital is a short drive away, as is the nearest fire station.
Bedford School is a protected old building. The council may therefore look closely at how visible the panels could be and how they may affect the building's historic features.
