A LARGE new solar farm could be built near sports fields in Evercreech if new plans are approved.

ILOS New Energy UK Ltd. has put forward initial proposals to erect a solar farm on land between Rodmore Farm and the Evercreech Playing Fields on Pecking Mill Road, at the southern end of the village.

The London-based developer has stated in its draft proposals (known as a screening request) that the solar farm could provide enough power for up to 1,600 UK homes.

Somerset Council is expected to make a ruling on the screening request in the early spring.

The solar farm would be accessed from Rodmore Road using the existing entrance to Rodmore Farm, with the panels being installed on a single field south of the local waste water treatment plant operated by Wessex Water.
