Clarkson's Farm

yea but your the one on here gloating, so ill keep ranting about people like you,

did you think about what the farmer going trew, currently prices for a tonne of wheat around £180, the same price he was getting back in the 80's, in the mean time all his other cost's have skyrocketed, he simply not making enough money to keep doing what he doing, that solar was most likely a last ditch attempt to give him a steady income of the land he owns. but thanks to entitled people like you, who like they should have the right to control other people property, and the sad think is you cant even see how wrong that is cause you think it never happen to you,

so lets see what happens when the farmer go, and his land bought by the likes of Dyson or Blackhorse, with deep pockets and a bank of KC's who make your KC look like the village idiot
or even worst he quits and but the land into a SFI, and suddenly you cant buy local food, and you eating bread made from some 3rd world wheat (cause it cheap)laced with all the chemical's we band years ago

Dood, I’ve known the farmer for 40 years, I spent my kid years playing on his farm with his sons and daughter, and I have a pint with him in our community owned pub.
Believe me (or not) he ain’t scraping by drinking out of his pond or eating dust to survive.
He recently bought a cottage down my lane, bulldozed it and built a monstrosity of a house than almost certainly wouldn’t now be allowed now it’s a conservation area.
But yeah, he’s completely broke.
Oh, and after the drivel you’ve posted you call a KC a village idiot.

Plenty of life in this field, it being the one that was targeted for the solar farm.

And some words from the objection..

The quantum of grade I, II* and II listed buildings in the area, non-designated heritage assets, their relationships with one another, their agricultural landscape and ancient woodland all make positive contributions to the special interest of the area, enhancing its rural character and offering quality examples of vernacular timber framed buildings of varying statuses.

Seems a perfect area to put a solar farm rather than on a brownfield site dontcha think?

I see you are from Suffolk. That's not the plot that's on Blacksmiths Lane in Earl Stonham ?

I think his point was more general using your example to help illustrate it. I don’t think he called anyone a village idiot.
 
Just to add, the farmers son who now runs the farm has opposed the solar farm and certainly doesn’t want it.
The rest is family politics which I’m not getting in to on here, but it boils down to greed and nothing else.

What were the farmers reasons for wanting to put a solar farm on that piece of land?

Loads of listed buildings in that field.

No, you need to give us his reasons so we can properly assess both sides

This.

The quote of objections indicates the point is "special interest of the area" and the solar farm does not contribute to this hence the objection. So to see both sides from a debate point of view where are the buildings in relation to the field and what do they look like. Nothing wrong in understanding more your side of the argument considering some of us are not aware of the area and locale. @JonRGV250
