Our rural communities are under attack from developers who want to build industrial scale solar farms across Staffordshire.
We believe solar energy has a role to play in powering the UK. However most applications in Staffordshire are on farmland and greenfield sites rather than in urban areas such as rooftops, carparksor other industrial locations.
Using farmland for solar energy forces Staffordshire to make a choice between food and energy security.
We are concerned about the growing number of solar farms and battery storage in rural Staffordshire. Currently there is no coordination on solar and alternative energy nationally or locally. Districts and borough councils can approve planning applications for solar farms without looking at the bigger picture across the county, and the Government is not developing the national picture fast enough. Something must be done.
We must take acommon-sense approach to balancing competing land demands before it’s too late.
We mustprioritise brownfield options for solar energy development, however the county council doesn'thave the power to do that -we need the right policies to put solar panels in the right places.
We are calling on Staffordshire residents to support our call for a county-wide plan for solar power. Pledge your support today and you will get regular updates about our campaign to Stop the Solar Land Grab.
