Wokingham Liberal Democrats have joined the Labour Party in criticising the council’s plans for a massive solar farm in BARKHAM. A plan to convert Barkham Farms into a solar farm with approximately 72,000 panels was submitted by Wokingham Borough Council on its planning portal on Thursday, April 8. The council has argued the solar farm would provide the borough with much needed green energy. However, the effectiveness of the proposed solar farm in cutting carbon emissions has been questioned by the Labour Party and the Liberal Democrats.
Wokingham Borough Council unveils plans for massive new solar farm in Barkham
A farm in BARKHAM could be in for a massive change if plans go ahead to convert it into a solar farm.
Wokingham Borough Council has submitted plans to transform Barkham Farms into a solar energy farm which it hopes will serve over 7,000 homes and businesses. The farmland, off Barkham Ride, located between Barkham, Finchampstead and Arborfield Garrison is currently being used by a tenant farmer for crops and cattle farming. The land stretches over 52 hectares. But the council would like to convert the land into the solar farm with approximately 72,000 solar panels in an effort to generate renewable energy.
