The first newly elected development committee met on Thursday and considered the application for a solar farm adjacent to the A127.
Now that all committee meetings are being streamed live on YouTube you can catch up with the night’s action below
The committee is chaired by Cllr Adrian Eves (Rochford District Residents) and Vice Chaired by Cllr Vilma Wilson (Rochford District Residents)
Cllr Michael Hoy proposed to refuse the application on the grounds of “the 30-megawatt output is sufficient to outweigh the special circumstances of the greenbelt…” – full refusal at https://www.youtube.com/live/nhnDAyHb2zA?feature=share&t=10356
