Proposed Homestead Farm Solar Farm Planning Application
This Planning Application, P00607/14 was discussed at the Shalfleet Parish Council Meeting on 18th June 2014. I was surprised that almost nobody present, including the Councillors, had been aware of a consultation held at Shalfleet Hall on 18th February. There were very few people there when I visited. The prospective developer sent me pdfs of the proposal which are embedded below, under a letter. I remember finding out about the consultation by accident and without notice, so one could not call the process 'consultation'.
Mrs Sarah Tyrell of Shalfleet submitted the following to the Parish Council; she was complimented by Councillors and public alike for her contribution. In later discussion, after the meeting, it was suggested that Natural England and the Campaign for the Protection of Rural England might have a view, as the impact on the environment is potentially more significant that it would seem at first sight.

Cannot believe that people are happy to have solar panels in green fields and not have wind turbines which I believe look quite beautiful. No animals can graze on these fields with panels but at least with turbines you can still have sheep grazing.
ReplyDeleteHow many more of these solar panels are going to be put in green agricultural fields. They are an eyesore and who really benefits from the free electric?
