The Examining Authority reviewing the proposed Botley West Solar Farm has submitted its recommendations
The Examining Authority reviewing the proposed Botley West Solar Farm has submitted its recommendations to the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero. A final decision is expected within three months.
The report is not yet public, and the Council has not been told what recommendation has been made. As the project is a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project, the decision rests with Government.
West Oxfordshire District Council has represented local concerns throughout the process and will keep residents updated.
