A company wants to install thousands of solar panels on farmland in Yorkshire
A decision on the Helios project won’t be taken by local councillors as it is classed a major infrastructure project, with the plans due to be submitted to the Planning Inspectorate in 2023.
Campaigners fighting the Helios plans have said they don’t see the sense of taking more than 1,800 acres of “very good, productive” farmland out of agricultural use. Selby’s head of planning Martin Grainger said solar panels could be “quite lucrative in terms of security income for farmers”.
