After a thorough assessment of the available details of the proposed planning application the Parish Council voted to officially object to the project. A letter of Objection has been issued to The Secretary of State, who will consider the application when it is presented. The project is considerably larger than other existing solar farms and therefore North Yorkshire Council Planning Department are not permitted to make a decision on the application. A copy of the letter can be obtained by requesting this via the clerk on email: – clerk@hirstcourtney.co.uk
