Hi all

Many thanks to those who were able to attend last week’s AGM - [*meeting minutes and recording here*.](https://ca-wn.org/index.php/2022/11/10/ca-wn-agm-october-2022-minutes-and-recording/?ref=exchange.ca-wn.org) These cover both the AGM and the short monthly meeting that followed it.

Further details below on some points discussed at the meeting:

***Consultation on further development of Northampton Railway Station***

This includes plans for car parking and changes to access routes and cycle parking. Note the closing date is this Friday 28 October.

***Solar Farms***

- The planning application for a [solar farm near Gayton](https://snc.planning-register.co.uk/Planning/Display/WNS/2021/1858/EIA?ref=exchange.ca-wn.org#undefined) was refused by WNC Strategic Planning Committee on 17/10
- There are two other planning applications for solar farms going through at the moment: [Fawsley Solar Farm | By Elgin Energy](https://fawsleysolar.co.uk/?ref=exchange.ca-wn.org) and [Crick Solar Farm](https://www.cricksolarfarm.com/?ref=exchange.ca-wn.org)
- The debate about solar farms, including using agricultural land for solar, is likely to be an ongoing debate locally and nationally. Links to a couple of articles below:
