Petition to Cornwall Council
There is a more general petition on the Cornwall Council website that you can sign regarding solar PV power stations covering the whole county - click here (opens in a new window).
The text below is taken from the petition.
"The industrialisation of the landscape will have a lasting negative effect on the following:
- The character of the Cornish countryside
- The historic and archaeological landscape
- Wildlife and the natural environment
- Food production
- Tourism and other rural enterprises
- Property values
- The opportunity for the quiet enjoyment of an unspoilt countryside
We believe that large-scale PV arrays should be directed towards previously developed land or brownfield sites. It is essential that effective community consultation precedes any such application."
