Large solar farm proposed

/in /by

A large solar farm is likely to be proposed for a site adjacent to the parish – either side of the M40 from Nethercote to Salt Lane in Postcombe.

It’s not an official planning application yet. However, the firm behind the site recently held a consultation for the public. The documents from the presentation are below. Please take a moment to look at them and if appropriate, send a comment.

In essence, while the parish council is supportive of eco-friendly ways of generating power, it voted to object to what is currently being proposed.
Scale – at 83 hectares it’s too big.
Location – it’s too close to the Chilterns AONB and far too visible to walkers.
Proximity – it’s too close to housing in Postcombe.
Further, there’s another solar array a few miles further north in Tetsworth that is being built. It too is alongside the M40.

Detail on the proposal is at lewknorsolarfarm.co.uk.

Solar2 has an online feedback form on the project website https://lewknorsolarfarm.co.uk/feedback. Comments can also be sent to .

Those who may not have internet access or may prefer to write to Solar2, can call 01352 748300 to request a paper version to be posted out to them which will need to be completed and returned in an envelope addressed to ‘FREEPOST Consultation reply’ (no further address or stamp required) by 2 August 2024.

If you have a view on the proposal, please make it known before it’s too late.
