She may be married to the “King of England” but Livia Firth’s attempt to go green has been turned down by planners.
The film producer wife of The King’s Speech actor Colin Firth had wanted to install a large solar panel on the couple’s family home in Chiswick, according to Building Magazine.
She had appointed an eco consultant to draw up plans for their Grade II listed home in a conservation area.
But a planning inspector has ratified Hounslow council’s decision to turn down the proposal, saying the harm done to the area’s historic setting outweighed the environmental benefits.
The inspector, Roger Shrimplin, said the panel would be “unduly large”, adding: “It would erode the architectural qualities of the listed host building itself and would cause actual harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area.”
