Stop Press - Solar Farm not approved

Contrary to the previous post, the Solar Farm application is NOT approved.

For some time now, the Stoke Golding Concerned Residents  Action Group (SGCRAG) has been arguing that the public should have been reconsulted on revised plans to the screening proposals which were submitted in January (after the closing date for comments). This has been falling on deaf ears. However subsequent to the last planning committee meeting we found hard evidence that the council had not followed their own published procedures for public consultation and we raised an objection prior to the formal Decision Notice being issued. They have clearly concluded that we were right as they have now reopened the application for public comment.

HBBC have sent letters to everybody who had previously commented. The public now has until the 15th March to submit any further comments. The application will go back to the planning committee to be determined on 26th March.

Please do use this opportunity to comment or recomment. On the "documents" page of this blog you will find links to the latest application documents and you will also find reports from experts commissioned by SGCRAG. The "objections" page tells you how to comment.
