As a Neighbouring Parish, the Parish council have been asked to consider this
proposal for Stonehill Farm and to give a recommendation accordingly.
This will be
considered at the next Planning Meeting on 9th December in the Halberton
Village Hall starting at 7.00pm.
It is again a proposed solar
park, on at least part grade 1 farmland, which is against both
national and local planning policy and will be clearly seen from the
area of Five Bridges in our Parish.

New Solar Site - Stonehill Farm
In case you do not know, the planning application for a solar site at Stonehill Farm has been modified and re-submitted. If approved, this would be a very large site, with about 22000 panels partly on what appears to be Grade 1 land. The reference number at MDDC is 14/01949/MFUL. If this application is successful it could set a precedent for other applications. Below is a link to a recent article in the Gazette Any letter regarding this application needs to be with Mid Devon District Council (MDDC) Planning Department by 16th December.
