Solar farm set to power 5,000 homes gets approved despite concerns for dogs and cats

The array at the edge of Yelverton, six miles from Norwich, will add to the concentration of schemes around the south of the city.

At a meeting of South Norfolk Council’s planning committee on Wednesday, councillors unanimously backed the latest development – a 72-acre solar farm on Back Road, next to an already existing renewable energy project.

The new solar farm will power around 5,000 homes.
