  1. Last one for today! http://www.shropshirestar.com/news/2014/10/22/shropshire-anti-solar-farm-campaigners-welcome-cut-in-subsidies/ North Shropshire MP and former Government minister Owen Paterson this week declared that Britain’s energy policy is a “slave to flawed climate action”.
  2. Interesting article from today, another Solar farm application rejected in Shropshire: http://www.shropshirestar.com/news/2014/10/15/delight-as-solar-farms-rejected/ Maybe we need a campaign group to help us save, our beautiful Rhosygadfa and the Shropshire Countryside?
  3. I also object to the applicant pressurising the Planners to get his application heard by 16th December!!! Rosie
  4. Does anyone know if we have an opportunity to voice our opinions tomorrow or are we just listening?
  5. Here is an interesting article from the Guardian: Magazine column by heir calls for people to value ‘landscapes, farmers, villages and pubs’ or risk losing them Press Association Wednesday 12 November 2014 theguardian.com http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2014/nov/12/prince-charles-says-peoples-connection-with-countryside-is-dying ----
  6. The good news is that a decision has NOT been made! Looking forward to the 20 Nov for a good debate.
  7. Although the solar farm is planned for 25 years I am deeply concerned about the future of the proposed agricultural land after this period; we fear that this will be the first of many applications ( easy money incentive ). Of note planning applications have grown from 33 in 2010 to 278 in 2013 a proven increase. The construction of a industrial solar farm would reduce the draw of this beautiful area, not only will we endure 25 years of an unsightly solar farm, in my opinion wasting good agricultural land but the future of the solar farm land after the proposed 25 years would be uncertain; of note a recent solar farm erected in the Telford area has just been granted permission to use the solar farm land for the building of housing once the solar farm term is up, could this happen at the proposed Ebnal solar farm land in the long term. I agree that we need solar farms and that there is a bright future for them in the UK but not just in any place at any price, more forethought and care should be taken to site such farms and not just granted to random opportunism, we should stick to industrial, brownfield sites or roof tops, which are out of direct view to residents and tourists; and have limited impact on wildlife. we should look for alternatives, the disadvantages significantly outweigh the benefits of this scheme. Please do not set a depressing and irreversible precedent.
  8. After speaking to Lauren Richards she has confirmed that a decision has NOT been made however I am very suspicious now as someone from Shropshire council told me 1/2 an hour ago that a decision had been made and We could see the determined decision on line? Calvin the Planning Officer has also confirmed that a decision has not been made. Sorry if that was confusing.
  9. Shropshire council have informed me that the decision has been determined! Slightly confused as I thought the decision date was 9 Jan 15. Think I will call back!
  10. I have just spoken to Shropshire council who have told me a decision Ref the Solar farm has been made? We should be able to view the outcome anytime now.
  11. Bethan, I sent my objection but it's not on that site yet, so one more to come!
  12. Robmit, I agree that we need solar farms and that there is a bright future for them in the UK but not just in any place and not at any price i.e our heritage and beautiful countryside.
  13. New on here was today the day our letter had to be in?
