Parish Council Meeting: 9th December 2014 - 7pm

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.
