Doncaster: Concern over plans for large solar farm in countryside

Fenwick Solar Farm Action Group member Ami Sett said that the land should instead be used for food production.

He told the BBC: “Solar would work today, but there are other alternatives to put your solar panels on instead of taking up valuable farmland which should be farmed for food.”

Mr Sett, a software developer, lives in Moss, close to the proposed site.

He added: “It will take up 70% of the beautiful, idyllic village of Fenwick. It’s going to ruin people’s walks, it’s going to ruin public bridleways, not to mention the ecological disaster it will cause.”

Developers Boom Power hosted two public consultation meetings for residents to learn more about the scheme, which would be classed as a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP).

A spokesperson for Boom Power said feedback from the events had “helped identify how potential impacts could be reduced” and had informed the design process.
