Fareham Borough Council has approved the application to retile the roof and at the same time install 3 rows of solar panels on the south side of the roof. The decision was passed by a unanimous vote of the planning committee.

Titchfield Village Trust Chairman, Nick Girdler, said, “We will now be working in close contact with the FBC conservation officer to complete the work.

An impression of what the roof solar panels will look like

“I would like to thank all of you who submitted letters in support of the application which, along with the help of our local councillors, played a significant role in this positive result.

“All we have to do now is raise the remainder of the funding we require to get the work started.”

To support the work residents are urged to log onto the TVT website : www.TitchfieldVillageTrust.com where they will find buttons giving access to the TVT pages on the Fareham Local Lottery and Just Giving site.

Fundraising for the work has so far secured over a third of the money required towards the £100,000 target..

Please help in any way you can in completing this very important village project.
