(Declaration of interest : I Roy Gerstner am a member of FDCs’ Planning Committee.
I gave my apologies not attending this meeting, I did NOT contact any of the other committee members in respect of this or any other application being considered.)
As previously noted on this web-blog, a very large ‘|Solar Farm|’ was debated yesterday.
The applicant claims that only a very small % Percentage of arable land would be lost (temporary for 40 years?). FDC Officers recommended to ‘Grant’ this was debated –

The applicant gave very strong arguments for the application to be granted.
After debate, FDCs’ Planning Committee recommended to ‘Refuse‘ the application.
(a previous application on the border with Fenland & Lincolnshire was refused for similar reasons)
