Alan Titchmarsh denounces plan to build 22,000 solar panels on countryside near his home
He said it would be short-sighted to destroy green spaces in favour of green energy
He said brownfield sites should be used before green spaces for any solar farms
Alan Titchmarsh is fighting plans to erect more than 22,000 solar panels over pristine green fields just 15 miles from his home.
Although the project has been hailed as a way to reach net zero and avert the climate crisis, he has argued that green spaces should not be sacrificed in favour of green energy, and brownfield should be used instead.
