The High Court will not hear an appeal against New Works Solar Farm after it was granted planning permission by a government minister earlier this year.
Telford & Wrekin Council mounted a legal challenge against the farm and neighbouring Steeraway Solar Farm, which together, will cover 230 acres and blight the landscape surrounding the Wrekin for generations to come.
Deputy Leader of the Council and Cabinet Member for Homes and Enforcement, Councillor Richard Overton said: “First confirmation that the court will not hear our case against Steeraway Solar Farm and now New Works on the basis of a legal technicality and despite the minister not seeing the site.” “As a council, we support green energy production – we are one of a handful of councils who own their own solar farm – but this shouldn’t be at the expense of our most important green space.For general enquiries and press releases email [email protected] or call 01743 818 095.This website uses cookies to improve your experience and serve advertisements that pay for the running of this website.
