A three-day planning inquiry on the Steeraway solar farm project closed last Friday and the appellant and the council have been given until April 2 to get their statements in to the planning inspectorate. He added that the council is"bitterly disappointed" that a junior minister has granted planning permission for the New Works Lane solar farm.
“In his letter, the minister recognised that the proposal will harm the local landscape and that the site is clearly valued by local residents, yet he has still deemed the site suitable for development, even though he has never visited the site or heard first-hand all the evidence put forward at the planning committee or the inquiry."
