There were concerns over the 'harm to the greenbelt'
The rejection of a vast solar farm that could have powered 15,000 homes was met with applause after concerns were raised over Nottinghamshire's greenbelt. A plan to turn farmland to the south of Gotham and the west of East Leake, between Stocking Lane and Kegworth Road, into a vast solar farm was recommended for approval at Rushcliffe Borough Council's planning committee on March 9, but was rejected unanimously by councillors.
But members of the planning committee were critical of the plan's potential impact on the "scenic" area, which falls within the Nottingham and Derby green belt. Councillor Carys Thomas, independent representative for East Leake, said: "I ask you to refuse the application because the magnitude and nature of the proposals would have a majorly adverse impact on landscape character and visual amenity.
"But I think having personally visited the site, it is high and it did hit me [that] it was prominent. I'm certainly not against solar energy but I think it needs to be in the right place and the right scale." . A spokesperson said: "At a time when energy security is at the forefront of the public’s consciousness, we are disappointed with Rushcliffe Borough Council’s decision to refuse RES’ application for the proposed Kingston Solar Farm.
