A similar application for 35,000 panels in 2013 was rejected by Guildford Borough Council

Solar panels
Plans for a huge solar farm in the green belt have been lodged again, despite a rejection and a dismissed appeal in the last two years.
Solar Power South has submitted a revised application to Guildford Borough Council for up to 30,000 solar panels on Eashing Farm in Eashing Lane for a temporary period of 25 years.
The company lodged a similar application for 35,000 panels in 2013, which was rejected by the council, and an appeal was dismissed by the planning inspectorate.
Eashing Farm is currently used as arable farmland and the site measures around 35 acres in size.
The previous application and appeal were dismissed on the grounds that the development was harmful to the green belt and to the area of outstanding natural beauty. In his appeal dismissal letter, planning inspector Andrew Hammond noted the farm would be visible in short and long distance views within the area of great landscape value and that trees planted to shield some of it from view would in fact shield it from the overall countryside appearance.
Changes to this application include a 10metre wide woodland buffer to be planted on the south west, west and north boundaries, providing a better buffer to the site, and two lines of double hedgerows to be planted across the site to provide intermediate visual screening.
