A huge solar farm will be built on fields in Rushcliffe after councillors unanimously agreed to the plans. The solar farm could power up to 14,000 homes and will be built on a 60-hectare piece of land – equivalent to 110 football pitches.
But local parish councils and some residents objected to the plans, which they say should not be allowed on Green Belt land in fields at Church Farm in Gotham Road, Kingston-on-Soar.
And one person who objected to the application said the plans would be overbearing for residents living near the site due to a “hideous tsunami of panels”.
