Boston Borough Council gives the go-ahead for a massive 97-hectare solar farm. An eco-friendly future or a misuse of farmland?
Members of Boston Borough Council's Planning Committee have approved plans for a 97-hectare solar farm in Bicker Fen.
Manned by AGR Solar 2 Ltd, the solar farm is slated to operate over a 40-year time period, after which it will be decommissioned. "This would help to further decarbonise the UK's energy production sector and achieve National Grid's target of a net zero electricity system by 2030."Councillor Peter Bedford voted in favour of the proposal, likening its potential success to the Leverton Ings Solar Farm, which has been operational for over a year.
Councillor Suzanne Wellberry shared these sentiments, adding that the development might set a precedent for similar applications in the future.
