Historic England and a parish council have raised concerns about solar farm plans at a Cornish cider farm due to the visual impact and the effect on a nearby ancient monument.
Historic England, while not against the principle of a solar farm at the site, said in a report to the council: "Development at the application site would negatively impact upon the ability to appreciate the monument within its surroundings". The proposal has been called to Monday's Cornwall Council central planning committee by local councillor Steve Arthur due to concerns regarding loss of agricultural land and visual impact.Grant deadline loomsThe proposed solar farm would run for 40 years, after which the site would be decommissioned and restored to agricultural use.
