Enviromena's 48.9-MWp Solar Park Proposal Rejected in UK

• Enviromena's innovative solar park proposal faces setback as North Warwickshire Council rejects plans, citing concerns over Green Belt impact. Appeal pending.

Enviromena's proposal to build a 48.9-MWp solar park in the UK was rejected by the North Warwickshire Borough Council due to concerns about its impact on the Green Belt and landscape. Despite positive recommendations from planning officers, the project was deemed inappropriate and not in line with local policies. Enviromena plans to appeal the decision, citing their efforts to exceed standard planning requirements.

The solar park, planned for a 150-acre site near Fillongley, aimed to generate enough electricity for over 16,500 homes annually through photovoltaic panels. The rejection comes amidst a push for solar energy projects in the UK, with three other solar projects recently receiving development consent orders.
