APPEALS

From: Planning Control Committee - Thursday, 21st August, 2025 7.00 pm - August 21, 2025

...the committee noted that an appeal for the construction, operation, and decommissioning of a solar farm on land north east of Wandon End had been allowed on 15 July 2025, despite local landscape and heritage concerns, due to the significant contribution to renewable energy generation and other benefits outweighing the identified harms.
