🌞 Going green - a charity will get most of their energy needs from a private solar farm
A charity in Caistor has been given the green light to build a private solar farm, a move designed to support its work amid the ongoing cost of living crisis.
The organisation sought permission from West Lindsey District Council to install 99 solar panels on land to the rear of the site that have the capacity to generate over 90% of the site's daytime electricity consumption, thereby significantly offsetting their energy needs.The application drew objections from local residents concerned that the modern technology would mar the area's natural beauty.
"In the application, it says that the solar panels will be out of sight, which isn't true as they will stick out like a sore thumb when you approach the site as you are walking or driving from Caistor up the hill."Dimensions of the proposed solar technology | Image: West Lindsey District Council He added:"They provide what is a valuable service to the community and I see no objection to this whatsoever."
