The application from the South Downs Planetarium Trust seeks permission to build a storage space to the rear of the Sir Patrick Moore Building, in Kingsham Road.
If approved, it will be made of brick and will house three Tesla Powerwall batteries to store the power generated by the solar panels on the planetarium roof.
