Apologies to all. Things got really busy towards the end of the year and my focus is on our Greening Campaign “Love Your Own Food” Event at Colden Common School. I will be updating the blog with the other stages that we went through.

The good news is that we got planning permission for phase 2 which clads the outside of the house & roof with (yet more) insulation. The compromise was to:-

• Lower the Solar Hot Water panel (will still work efficiently)
• Flatten the PV on the flat roof (boo!)
• Use tiles instead of cedar down to the top of the ground floor window.

So its official – the “alien Feature” has gone (according to the planning officer) and we can now proceed.

Now we need to save up our cash to implement it.
