When I wrote a short message a few days ago
about the latest developments relating to solar panels on the
countryside and on agricultural land, I mentioned that I had also
written to the Planning Officer Thea Billeter and had asked if she had
picked up any information about whether the applicants in respect of the
Great Curham Farm application are showing any inclination to appeal the
recent refusal of planning permission. I also then promised that if I
heard anything I would pass that on to you.
I
have heard back from Thea today. She confirms that she has heard
NOTHING but also confirms what we know - that the applicants do have
until the end of February to lodge an appeal if they wish to do so.
She
agrees with me that the whole attitude in Government has changed in
relation to solar panels on the countryside and on agricultural land,
and she has commented that this is currently demonstrated by the large
number of appeals that are being dismissed in recent months.
Given
this major shift in the climate relating to this type of development I
feel very confident that there will NOT be any appeal. However only time
will tell, of course!
Best wishes to you all,
Mike
