But nearby neighbours are concerned
Villagers are displeased over plans for a large solar panel farm on their doorstep, but say "it's better than houses." Plans for a new 60.94 hectare solar farm at land off Gotham Road, Kingston on Soar, south of Ratcliff on Soar, were submitted earlier this year.
"I like it how it is now, but it's better than houses. The other year it was all flooded and almost got to the bottom of down there and near the end of my garden." "If they could try to do those things in an area without people living around and then it would not take away from a beautiful area like this." Retired resident, Doug Williams, 74, described the plans as a "complete disgrace."
When asked his thoughts on the possible solar farm, David Fairbanks, 56, of Kingston upon Soar, said: “Generally we recognise that there is a real need for green energy but we do seem to have a plethora of applications and potential applications around this area that are going to take up prime agricultural land. So I think they need a rethink about the master plan.
"For me personally, it changes the view at the back and we can't walk across the fields anymore because it will be full of solar panels."
