Solar Farm at Thriplow

This amended planning application comes up for decision at the planning committee of South Cambs District Council next week. the applicants have pushed back the solar panels away from the drift track that runs through the middle of the land to reduce the visibility of the panels but there is still a good deal of local opposition. At the moment the planning officers recommendation is to refuse. The land is green belt though not high class arable land.
I will be setting out my views to the planning committee as the local member for thriplow and Heathfield. The parish council also have an extraordinary meeting to consider the latest plans later this week.
