Feedback following on from Amber Hill Parish Council Meeting on 15th May 2023 Following on from discussion around information received the Councillors resolved that their response still stands with regards to the Solar Farm Cllrs discussed the information received regarding the Solar farm, noting that they will be 4.5m high and have a lifetime of 40 years, although it is yet to be decided whether they would be tracking or fixed. Cllrs resolved that they are in favour of a Solar farm as such, however they do have concerns about the fact that the land to be used is Good quality land that will be removed from agricultural production. The land currently proposed to be used is a mixture of grade 1 and 2 land, capable of producing good crops of roots and vegetables. Grade 3 and 4 land would be far more appropriate for a solar farm.
