An energy company has submitted controversial plans to build a solar farm across greenbelt land in Yorkshire.
More than 130 people have so far objected to the scheme since it was sent to Wakefield Council earlier this month. Boom Power wants to build the solar farm on land at Overton, Middlestown, New Hall and Grange Moor, near Wakefield. The Save the Sitlington Countryside group was formed by residents when the project was revealed last year. Opponents claim it will turn one of the most picturesque areas of the city into an “industrial landscape”.
“The scheme would contribute to the region’s progress in meeting its renewable energy target and would also assist in meeting national targets for both energy supply and low carbon energy development.” An objection on the council’s planning portal says: “We should not be sanctioning the use of greenbelt for solar farms when there are plenty of alternative industrial, commercial, brownfield sites available.
