Reporter Info: [2015] P.A.D. 52
Status: Permission granted
Case Categories:
  • Suits against governments
    • Environmental assessment and permitting
      • Renewable projects
Jurisdictions:
  • United Kingdom
    • Planning Inspectorate
Principal Laws:

    • Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (England and Wales)
Summary:

KS SPV35 Ltd. appealed the Monmouthshire County Council’s rejection of its application to install a solar farm near an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (“AONB”). The Planning Inspector overturned the Council’s decision after considering arguments that the slightly revised plan for a solar farm would result in a loss of natural green space or harm to the area’s natural character and wildlife. The Inspector conditioned approval of the plan for a solar farm on construction and maintenance of a surrounding boundary hedge of at least three meters in height.

At Issue: Permission sought to build solar farm
