SUSTAINABLE Charlbury has been told there are potential problems with its plan to build a solar farm at Cornbury Park.

West Oxfordshire District Council told the group in pre-planning application advice that there were several constraints with the site, including its location in the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), its potential effect on the Charlbury Conservation Area and its visibility from public vantage points.

Although none of these factors preclude development, Sustainable Charlbury would need to prove that the farm would have a minimal impact on the landscape.
