PUBLIC hearings will take place next month over plans for a huge solar farm the size of 2,800 football pitches in Lincolnshire.

THREE-DAY PUBLIC MEETING TO BE HELD IN LINCOLN

The Springwell solar farm was recently described by councillors as “quite alarming” in scale and impact on the countryside.

It is planned for land to the east of Navenby, split into three separate sections. Developers EDF Renewables UK and Luminous Energy say the solar farm could power 180,000 homes and help the transition to renewable energy.

The Planning Inspectorate is currently examining the proposals, and will be holding a three-day public meeting for local residents to share their views.
