The Marlborough District Council has asked for more information about a solar farm proposal, such as possible glare from panels and their lifespan. Neighbours of the site, on Dillons Point Rd near Blenheim, have previously expressed their opposition .
The geotechnical assessment sought by the Marlborough District Council started on Monday and will involve drilling multiple boreholes and test pits into the Peninsula Rd stopbanks over the next couple of weeks.
“Obnoxious” rabbit populations damaging stopbanks along Blenheim’s Taylor River will be poisoned ahead of a night shooting hoped to bring numbers down.
