A community group bidding to build a five-acre solar farm on Swansea’s Gower Peninsula, the UK’s first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) has failed.
The BBC writes:
Gower Power Cooperative had asked to install 4,000 panels on a 15-acre (six hectare) site on the Gower peninsula.
Planning officers had recommended approval on the basis there would be ‘no significant visual impact’.
But after 27 people wrote letters objecting to the plans, the application was rejected.
