I feel very sorry for the resident in Castle Street whose installation of solar panels has attracted such wrath. He followed the rules, his installation is legal yet he is still subjected to attack.
As I've said before, the architectural merit of Castle Street's skyline is at least as badly damaged by the neighbours, many in listed buildings, who adorn their chimneys with unsightly aerials. If the solar panels have to go, no doubt the aerials will be next. And what then? Installation of Victorian gas lighting? A return to cobbles? A ban on traffic except for horse-drawn carriages and carts? Demolition of all buildings in Castle Street which are not listed?
