Summary
The applicant proposes 165 solar panels on both slopes of the First Steps Nursery roof. The panels could change how the roof looks and could produce cleaner electricity. The nursery is on the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital site. Other hospital buildings are directly adjacent, while Wonford House Hospital is a couple of minutes' walk away. Only 11 nearby property fronts have a clear view towards the site. Most surrounding buildings block views of the roof.
