Solar Farms
- The planning application for a solar farm near Gayton 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 and Crick Solar Farm
- 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:
- Solar farms a 'blight on the landscape'? Research shows they can benefit wildlife (theconversation.com)
- Farming and solar panels can work together – here’s the proof | Greenpeace UK
