SAINSBURYS in Grimsby could be the next commercial premises to install solar panels on its roof.
The supermarket chain has submitted a planning application to North East Lincolnshire Council for the installation which would generate renewable energy for the store on Corporation Road.
A note from its agents, Ineco Energy, states: "So far as is practicable, the panels will be sited so as to minimise any effect on the external appearance of the building and the amenity of the area.
"The proposal would not unacceptably harm the characteristics of the existing building or the character of its surroundings because the area is commercial in its appearance, set within a built-up area.
"The proposal would not be prominently visible from the street scene as it is a tall building and, with the solar panels set clear from the external edges, it will not harmfully impact the design of the building and the area.
"The panels would be visible from certain heights, but they would not be prominently visible from the public realm or street level."
The application is expected to be determined later this summer.
