Solar farm proposals

CCC solar farm site

Solar farm rejected

After a tense moment where the live stream dropped off... The Island of Cumbrae is celebrating. the planners recognised the detrimental impact the solar farm would have on the island's habitats, wildlife, views and tourism. They also noted that the application lacked information around key details.

Well done to everyone for speaking out about the things we all love about the island. A huge thank you to everyone for your support.

The applicant said they may appeal, but for today this is success.

Thank you so very much to everyone who has given their thoughts, care and energy to the fight the Isle of Cumbrae has put up against this proposal.
