Over the past few weeks I've been circulating information on proposals for a solar farm at Benridge, just off Fillpoke Lane between Crimdon and High Hesleden.
The company involved held a public exhibition in High Hesleden last night which kick-started a three-week consultation exercise to gauge public opinion on their plans. They've said they intend to use the information gathered from the public consultation exercise to guide them in deciding whether they should submit a full planning application to the local planning authority to get consent for their solar farm.
It is vital at this early stage in the process that as many people as possible take part in the consultation to get their views across, so I've posted a link below which will take you to the company's website where you'll find more details about the solar farm proposals along with a 'Contact Us' option for you to make your voice heard.
Please make every effort to respond: Consultation — Benridge Farm
For more background information on the solar farm proposals, and additional details about how important it is to make your voice heard please go to this link: Proposed Solar Farm at Fillpoke Lane - Lessons from Sheraton
