Plans for a solar hub to power the city have been pushed back by locals. But a climate change expert has said communities need to expect more bids for renewable energy sites to land on their doorsteps.

The proposed solar farm bordering Cranes Road and East Carleton Road has been put forward for another screening opinion.

A screening application to examine the cumulative impact of the solar farms being proposed in our area (Bracon Ash and Mulbarton).

Villagers are fearful of a "Wild West land grab" by solar farm companies in a rural community.

The planning application is now live and responses need to be recorded by the 4th May.

We have received confirmation from the Director at Luminous Energy that in conjunction with the landowner Mr Berney a revised plan has been proposed regarding the location and layout of the Bracon Ash solar farm.

As promised, we would like to share an update on the latest activity with regards to the Bracon Ash solar farm proposal.

Come to the Bracon Ash & Hethel Village Hall to have your say and hear more about the proposed solar farm.

To date this is just a screening application and, although we would challenge any proposal in this current form, we will need to wait to understand what the actual application is.
