Proposed 91 Hectare Solar Park at Week St Mary, Holsworthy

The solar park proposals here in South West England get ever more extravagant.  The Western Morning News reports today that:

Worried homeowners have vowed to fight proposals for the country's biggest solar farm which would cover 224 acres of Cornish farmland.

Good Energy's proposed scheme could see 135,000 photovoltaic panels installed on farmland near Week St Mary, between Launceston and Bude.

Accordingly our list of large scale solar PV planning applications currently being considered is now extended into North Cornwall, with the request for a EIA scoping opinion for land adjacent to Little Exe Cottage at Week St Mary joining the two sites already under construction at Eastacombe Farm and Great Knowle Farm around Holsworthy.

According to the Western Morning News once more:

Teacher Pauline Smeeth, whose home is less than half-a-mile from the site, said she was "shocked and angry" with the size of the development.

and

Neal Moxon said the "Proposed development completely surrounds my property. Apart from ruining the natural habitat of the varied wildlife in this tranquil unspoilt area, this proposed development would have a very considerable negative effect on the value of our property,"

If you do happen to know Pauline or Neal perhaps you could pass on our contact details to them?
