Massive planned solar farm could power 11,200 homes

A massive solar farm planned for Nottinghamshire's greenbelt could power 11,200 homes for decades. The large-scale solar farm would use 82.4 hectares of farmland off Asher Lane, Ruddington, to generate a huge amount of renewable power, if Rushcliffe Borough Council approves the plans.

The plan's applicant, who expects the total construction cost to be between £46million and £50m, said the proposal would also allow arable land to recover from intensive farming. But Rex Walker, Conservative ward councillor for Gotham, objected to the project by commenting that he did not believe the renewable energy would offset "harm" to the greenbelt.

"Ultimately the question is whether this scheme will make a significant enough contribution to the climate crisis to justify the greenbelt harm in this location. My judgement is that it would not and therefore I object."
