There has been backlash against a decision to approve a 56-hectare solar farm on green belt land in Backworth.
Backworth couple Max and Jowita Seed have started a petition calling for the Northumberland Estates development to be scrapped. At the time of publication, the petition has amassed 93 signatures.
Mr and Mrs Seed have strongly criticised the development and spoke publicly against the application at North Tyneside Council's planning committee meeting last week. However, despite this, the application was narrowly granted by councillors.
