August 2022 Notice
Springthorpe Parish Meeting
NOTICE OF PARISH MEETING
MONDAY 1/8/22 at 7pm at SPRINGTHORPE VILLAGE HALL
Tillbridge Solar Ltd have just announced that they intend to place a planning application with WLDC in 2023 for the development of a Solar Farm on land that surrounds Springthorpe (stretching eastward to surround Harpswell and Glentworth similarly).
They will be leafletting the area shortly but the details are available on their website www.tillbridgesolar.com.
The project is likely to adversely affect the livings of two Parish families. Homeowners in Springthorpe will have to cope with the effects of construction of the site over five years till it goes live in 2027. The current proposals see panels being erected on land that borders local gardens and privately owned fields to the east and south, extending into the heart of the village (at the back of Hill Road and Chapel Lane). It is envisaged the land will be returned to agricultural use at the end of 40 years.
To initiate the process of responding to the proposals I would like to invite all Parishioners to a meeting in Springthorpe Village Hall on Monday 1 August at 7pm.
RSVP to drplovescats@btinternet.com (so that we can ensure the space will accommodate as many as wish to come)
