Oxford pub proposes solar canopy for beer garden
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 8 Oct, 16:24 · Archive
The White Rabbit in Oxford city centre has applied to install a glazed photovoltaic canopy over its outdoor area.
The White Rabbit, located at Friars Entry in Oxford city centre, has submitted plans to the council to install a new solar terrace over its garden. The pub wants to remove its existing parasol structures and replace them with a glazed photovoltaic canopy over the outdoor area, along with retractable weather screens and landscaping works.
The proposals were submitted to Oxford City Council in September and validated on 18 September. Residents and nearby businesses have until 24 October to comment on the application, with the council's current internal target deadline set for 13 November.
One member of the public, Darren Collins, has expressed support for the plans in the council's planning portal, describing it as 'a massive improvement and green credentials too'. This is not the first time the pub has sought planning permission; in 2022 the business was involved in a disagreement with the council's planning department over bespoke garden furniture.
