Stoke Golding Parish Council says "No"

Those of you who have been following this story will know that the Parish Council did not consider that the view offered by the residents group represented that of the village & had not been prepared to oppose the proposed solar farm, saying “The Parish Council can find no reason to oppose the application under existing planning rules”.

We knew this was not right and last night (19th Dec) we went along to a special Parish Council meeting to prove it. We presented the evidence from the petition and we presented the planning reasons for objection. After some debate, the Parish Council accepted the arguments and passed the following resolution unanimously:

“The Parish Council notes that the majority of residents oppose the development and have valid objections supported by planning policies. Accordingly the Parish Council agrees to strongly oppose the development on behalf of the residents”

This is a great outcome. We are very pleased to now have the Parish Council onboard and it also proves that we have a very sound case. 

Thanks to all who turned out to support us.
