Ymatebydd: Campaign to Protect Rural England - Warwickshire

The draft Policy is incompatible with protecting the landscape of South Warwickshire, views from higher ground and viable agriculture. It places support for renewable energy (solar farms, wind farms) and battery storage over protection of the landscape and its character. Wind turbines, solar arrays in fields and BESS are industrial impositions. Solar arrays on industrial and commercial roofs should be supported instead; these are not mentioned in the Policy. Only by preventing solar on farm and open land will it be placed on roofspace. The Policy should be rewritten to give priority to roof solar and resist solar on farmland.
