Coupar Angus residents have been urged to have their say on a planning application for a controversial solar farm on the outskirts of the town.
Proposals for the formation of a 49.9MW solar farm comprising ground mounted solar arrays, inverters, transformers, a substation, security fencing, CCTV cameras, cabling, access tracks and associated works at land 130 metres south-east of Coupar Angus Substation, off Pleasance Road, were submitted to Perth and Kinross Council on behalf of Coupar Two Ltd.
The application has been submitted to the local authority after two heated online meetings were held earlier this year by consultants working for Coupar Two Ltd at which it emerged that the proposed solar farm would be sited on agricultural land and cover an area bigger than the whole of town.
