Solar panels could be installed at a local Sainsbury's if plans are signed off by Warwick District Council.

The supermarket chain has applied for the work to be done at its Leamington Shopping Park Store.

The panels are expected to meet the store's energy needs for the foreseeable future and would be removed once no longer required.

From the ground, the panels would not be easy to see because of the roof's height and design.

The equipment has been chosen to limit glare, with dark panels that absorb light and coatings to reduce reflection.

According to the planning application, the installation would not cause disturbance to neighbours or affect the look of the area.

Also, the design and external appearance of the installation would not have an adverse impact through glare on occupiers of neighbouring land.
