We fully support renewable energy in the right place. However, Copse Lodge is not the right place for a solar project. It would be a huge eyesore in the beautiful rural valley between Greatworth, Halse, Farthinghoe and Marston St. Lawrence...
...and a major intrusion in the landscape for anyone traveling to or from Brackley.
JBM's application WNS/2021/0935/EIA was submitted in June 21 and was withdrawn in December 2021.
However, JBM has now submitted a NEW application - WNS/2022/0557/EIA. This new proposal is still for a huge solar farm on 182 acres of land and the proposed 132kV substation is still planned by Park Spinney, close to Greatworth village.
