Today, Gino informed us we had been granted the permissions for the external works with no conditions. Most importantly, it includes permission for photovoltaic panels on the roof.
As we are in a part of the village classified as centro storico, we needed to get the application approved by both the comune and the Soprintendenza Archeologia, Belle Arti e Paesaggio.
Gino warned us that the Soprintendenza would be sure to reject the request for panels on the roof, but we persuaded him to apply with two possible locations (roof and garden). Having applied, he told us the only way we’d get permission to place them on the roof is if the Soprintendenza didn’t review the request properly. Today everything got approved on the basis that there was no response from the Soprintendenza within the allowed timeframe. Tada!
The grant includes:
- Closing the old kitchen door
- Opening the new kitchen door
- Repointing front and sides
- Rendering the back
- Replacing the windows
- Adding the two new windows in the living room
- Shutters in green
- Repainting the external doors in green
- Insulating the roof
- Photovoltaic panels on the roof
