Gas-fired power station could be built on disused farmland );
A MINIATURE gas-fired power station could be built in the countryside near Goring.
Balance Power Projects, of Merseyside, is seeking planning permission for a “transitional hybrid energy project” on a piece of disused agricultural field to the west of Wallingford Road.
The 0.42-hectare site is next to Thames Water’s sewage processing plant and would be accessed by a new track off the main road, which would also serve the Hildred family’s “pick your own” farm to the south.
The farm’s old entrance would be removed and new hedgerows planted to fill the gap.
