Our Planning Objections
PLEASE SEND letters or emails objecting to these proposals to planning.applications@stratford-dc.gov.uk copying in the case officer alison.willers@stratford-dc.gov.uk quoting the following planning reference no: 24/02072/FUL and further details can be found by clicking HERE.
- Cumulative impact of neighbouring solar farms in Stratford-on-Avon and Warwick Districts (SDC Policy CS5 and CS9)
- Impact on rural landscape character, loss of food production, contrary to Stratford-on-Avon District Council’s Renewable Policies in respect of scale, size and location, as provided in the evidence base for the Core Strategy (SDC Policy CS3, CS5 and CS9)
- Impact on historic environment, which must be protected - the site lies adjacent to the Fosse Way and marks a site of special historic and archaeological interest within close proximity of a medieval village (SDC Policy CS8)
- Proposal to build the DNO substation in open countryside on the Newbold Road would cause significant harm to the gateway entrance of Newbold Pacey - 2.3km from the west of the western area site boundary of the solar farm. This severely conflicts with SDC Policy AS10 as the substation equates to the size of a three bedroom house at 13.5 x 11.5m (44ft x 37ft) extending the severity of the harm to the character of the landscape
- Whilst the loss of property value is not a considered material planning reason for objection – the impact on residential property values would be significant
