The Lime Down Solar Park project in north Wiltshire has released the results of its first consultation.
More than 750 people responded to the first stage of consultation for a controversial 2,000 acre solar farm, with 88% saying they were against the current plans.
Island Green Power , which is behind the plans, has thanked people for the responses and said a second consultation would start next year. There are concerns about how its size would impact the landscape and how much farmland it would take up.Phil Moore from the campaign group said: "It's not because they're anti-solar - it will disfigure this countryside for miles and miles around.
That is something local resident Lesley Bennett, who is also a former mayor of Malmesbury, supports: "That I think is brilliant.""It's for the sake of our children, our grandchildren," she added.Will Threlfall, Senior Project Development Manager for Lime Down Solar Park, commented: “We now have a better understanding of what is important from a landscape, nature, and community perspective that will be addressed as we refine our plans.
