Developers say solar panels will be screened from sight once hedgerows planted nearby mature.
The long-term impact of a proposed solar farm on nearby countryside would be "minimal," an ongoing public inquiry heard earlier.
The site is owned by the Fitzwilliam Trust Corporation but tenanted to farmers Rob and Emma Sturdy, who said that if the scheme went ahead it would make their business "unviable".Harmony's application was turned down last year before the developer submitted an appeal. He said: "I take the point. There would be views of the solar farm until the new hedgerow mitigation is established."Speaking outside the inquiry, Frances Nicholson, one of Harmony's directors, said the firm had always taken care to design the site "sensitively".
