W2: Solar Farms
Proposals for solar farms will be assessed against the following criteria:
- Retaining good quality (grade 1, 2 and 3A) agricultural land;
- Preserving the openness of the countryside and the undulating nature of the landscape;
- Maintaining the rural setting of the settlements of Wrestlingworth and Cockayne Hatley;
- Not adversely affecting the views across the Parish as shown on Map 4 and described in the Viewpoints Report; and
- Not adversely impacting residential amenity from noise generated by the solar farm;
- Where the proposal fails to meet any one of these criteria it will be resisted.
