Ridge Clean Energy hopes to provide enough renewable electricity to power 5,150 homes.
The proposed solar panels would be erected on farmland alongside Whiterails Road near RydeRidge Clean Energy has applied for permission for ground-mounted panels and a battery storage facility on farmland near Ryde, Isle of Wight.Supporters insist it would boost renewable energy production on the island.
"The open views will be dominated by the conspicuous solar developments which will be incongruous with the landscape character of the area," it added. One resident said they moved to Wootton for the peace and quiet and cut down conifer trees at the front of their property to enjoy the view over fields which are now proposed to be filled with solar panels.Supporters maintain it would boost renewable energy production and would be built on poor-quality farmland which would most likely be targeted instead for housing.
