Proposed New Solar Farm

 

The PC has received information about a proposed new solar farm development being planned for land east of Common End, Weasenham All Saints.

 

The proposal is currently in the early stages of development and the company, ADAS Planning, are keen to involve key stakeholders through Public Consultation. This consultation will come to an end at 23:59 on 2nd October 2025, following which, feedback will be collated and reviewed, before finalising the scheme in preparation for the Full Planning Application. A document containing more information is attached to this post. You can also visit the dedicated website at Weasenham Solar Consultation – Public Consultation Site for a Solar PV Farm in Weasenham All Saints. A determination of the Planning Application by Breckland District Council is expected in Spring 2026.

 

Further information on the scheme will be available during an in-person event, which is to be held at Tittleshall Village Hall* on 23rd September, from 4:00pm to 8:00pm. This will be a ‘drop-in’ event (during the 4 hour window) where you can ask questions and seek further information.

 

In order to best represent the village during the consultation process, it would be of benefit to understand the public’s view on the proposal. Furthermore, the PC will be asked to comment on the Full Planning Application at some point so, again, knowing the public feeling on the issue would be useful. If you would like to share your view with the PC, please forward your comments to the PC Clerk, Gail Robinson, via email at parishcouncil@weasenham.org.

 

* The PC made enquiries as to why the in-person event is being held at Tittleshall and not Weasenham. The explanation was that “venues we contacted either didn’t return our calls or are showing online as unavailable”. The PC was not contacted.

WEASENHAM PARISH COUNCIL

Weasenham Parish Council has provision for seven Councillors. It currently has just three. Should one more Councillor resign, for whatever reason, the Council will cease to function. It will then be down to Breckland District Council as to how we move forward.

 

If you have a few hours per week to spare, and would be willing to join the Council, now is the time to apply. All candidates would be expected to be involved in all areas of the Council’s work, e.g. policy, finance and attendance at meetings.

 

If you are interested, please email the Clerk at parishcouncil@weasenham.org for a co-option application form.

 

Apply now, and you could be co-opted onto the Council at its next full meeting.
