The Problem with Solar Farms – Factors that should be considered in determining applications
A collaborative document produced by CPRE Essex and other groups outlining the problems with solar farms and highlighting some of the significant issues that can arise.
Highlights a statement by Rt Hon Robert Jenrick MP, then Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, that “local planning authorities are asked to encourage re-use of brownfield land provided that it is not of high environmental value, to recognise the character and beauty of the countryside”.
Policy Statement with Regard to Solar Farms – by CPRE Essex
Meeting our energy goals should not be used to justify the wrong development in the wrong location and this includes the use of high-quality land. Protecting the global environment is not an excuse to trash the local environment.
