Following the local consultation events held by the developers behind Whitestone Solar Farm, I would like to hear from you. As previously stated, the application is not for me to allow or refuse, but I want to shape it and put pressure on the company to ensure it is done right, if it has to be done.

The sheer scale of what is currently being proposed and the location of some of the sites is both worrying and concerning. Therefore, it is really important for me to be able to represent your views and considerations if a planning application is made in a years time.

Next year, I will be meeting with as many residents as possible across Rother Valley about this, so do keep an eye out for when I am in your village.

To begin my own consultation with residents, I will be holding an online public meeting on this matter on Monday 6th January at 18:30. You can sign up here:
