Solar farm proposed for Halloughton, near Southwell, rejected by Newark and Sherwood District Council Published: 07:30, 13 March 2021
A huge solar farm would swamp a village and cause detrimental damage to the landscape, a meeting was told.
That was the consensus of members of Newark and Sherwood District Councilâs planning committee when discussing a 108-hectare solar farm near Southwell.
The committee was told the farm, which would span 13 agricultural fields on land north of Halloughton, would power 12,000 homes for a year and amount to £30m private sector investment.
A solar farm.
