Public hearings are underway for The Droves solar farm, a large-scale project proposed for Norfolk, with local concerns about its environmental impact being voiced. The 2,075-acre development aims to generate 500 megawatts of electricity, enough for 115,000 homes. Developers state the panels are temporary and the land could revert to agriculture. The Ministry of Defence opposes the project due to potential glint and glare issues affecting RAF Marham pilots. The government will make the final decision on this significant green energy initiative.
