An Old Malton farmer speaks out before plans to build a solar farm go to public consultation.
A near four-year battle that has seen a North Yorkshire tenant farmer try to stop a solar farm being built on his land is going to a public inquiry.
Harmony Energy said it had reduced the amount of high-grade land included within the proposed development site, reducing the overall size of the solar farm by 35%. Energy Secretary - and Yorkshire MP - Ed Miliband said he wanted to quadruple UK solar power, which he said, would help fight climate change and bring economic growth and new jobs.Mrs Sturdy said she accepted there needed to be more use of renewable energy, and she did not oppose the building of solar farms."Why not on the roofs of factories or huge warehouses?
