This house in Cloister Road has recently had solar water heating installed. On the roof there are windows above, and water heating panels below. Local planning guidelines are that the front elevation of houses must maintain the original roof line, but sloping windows are allowed. The backs of many houses have loft extensions which jut out from the original roof line.
