Solar Power: Tebworth
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if he will make an assessment of the potential impact of the Tebworth solar farm on (a) access to countryside for local communities, (b) nature recovery and (c) the protection of wildlife.
Answered by Michael Shanks
It would not be appropriate for DESNZ Ministers to comment on matters related to any specific projects.
However, all solar projects are subject to a rigorous planning process, in which the views and interests of local communities are considered. This includes any impact on rights of way, biodiversity, and the natural environment.
