If permission is granted, the solar panels would be put in the Woodhouse Estate, which is described as "secluded sanctuary" on its website.
Planning is also being sought for the panels' inverter enclosure and all other associated works.
Each solar panel would generate in and around 150Kwp of renewable energy.
