SOLAR panels are set to be installed on the roof of buildings at Spire Cheshire Hospital in Stretton.
An application to determine if prior approval was required for the proposals was submitted.
The proposals comprise the installation of solar panels on pitched roofs of the hospital buildings at the site, on Fir Tree Close.
The council has decided that prior approval is required, and granted subject to conditions.
In the officer report, it said: "The development, due to its siting and appearance, is not considered to have a detrimental impact due to design or external appearance and therefore complies with Policy DC6 of the Warrington Local Plan.
"The standoff distance and the angle at which the proposal site sits relative to nearby properties is sufficient to ensure no detrimental impact from glare and the proposal therefore complies with Policy ENV8 of the Warrington Local Plan."
