North Muskham Parish Council are not opposed to solar energy and associated development. The proposed 7,000 acre Great North Road (GNR) Solar Park is however on an unprecedented scale (would be the biggest in the UK) and is unlikely to be the last one built in and around the village.
The overwhelming feedback from residents is opposition to all or some aspects of the proposed development. It is our duty as a Parish Council to represent those views and achieve the best outcome for the village that we can. We are working with other concerned local and neighbouring villages to try and coordinate a response. In order to achieve this we need to engage the professional services of planning consultants to provide the best response to the proposal as possible. This needs to include reasonable mitigation should the scheme be given the go ahead as it will stay in place for at least 40 years.
In order to pay for the required professional services a crowd funding site has been set up. Donations of any size are very welcome.

The Parish Council totally respect the views of those that may be supportive of the scheme or of large scale solar farms in general and appreciate the complexities involved.
