After being denied permission to install solar panels on his home two decades ago, Wiltshire resident Tony Ward opposes a proposed massive 2,200-acre solar farm. He argues that the project, which will include extensive infrastructure and significantly alter the local landscape, poses unfair planning contradictions. Ward highlights the stark difference in policy treatment regarding renewable energy initiatives, contending that while his modest project was rejected, a sprawling solar development is now being considered close to his historically significant home. Concerns include potential light and noise pollution impacting the area's natural beauty and historical significance.
"We weren't allowed to install a modest set of solar panels on a rundown cow barn, yet now they want to cover thousands of acres in solar panels right next to us."
"The night sky here is so crisp and clear. If this goes ahead, we will lose that forever."
