Controversy over Solar Panel Restrictions on Historic Building in Nieuwstraat

Solar panels are not allowed on the back of this 1942 building on Nieuwstraat. “The building next door is seventeenth-century, you should never put panels on it,” Patijn points out, “but this is a much newer building, it can be done there. The policy is simply too strict on that point. There are places where you can allow the best, and I think this is an example of that.” He points to the new roof tiles, skylights and central heating pipes. “You see all kinds of things here that were not there before, and you have to understand that. Look here is also a lamppost, which you did not have in 1628 either.”
