A Grade II-listed church in central Nottingham has received planning approval to install solar panels as part of a wider sustainability initiative.
St Andrews With Castle Gate United Reformed Church, located on Goldsmith Street near Nottingham Trent University, will add four banks of photovoltaic panels to its south- and west-facing roofs.
The project is designed to enhance the energy efficiency of the historic building and lower long-term operational costs.
Nottingham City Council granted approval, with the condition that the panels visually match the existing roof tiles and be approved by planning officials prior to installation.
The development reflects a broader trend of heritage sites incorporating green energy solutions to meet environmental targets and manage energy expenses.
