The local government are bringing in new laws to stop the farmers from leasing their Fields for Solar PV companies.
What the local government says is that good agricultural land will be taken out of production.
As usual i am upsetting the apple cart.
We have just applied for planning permission before the new rules will take effect. As we are a small farm and registered for sheep. Although our new PV array is actually in our garden.
According to the government official the PV is only just off the ground, and the ground underneath these vast PV farms will need weed killer or graveling over etc.
So here is one of our sheep under our new PV Array, its a photo with the new project exactly blended on. As you can see i raise the array by 1.1 meters so the sheep can not get at the PV panels. And we have always made sure none of our ground becomes not usable.
