AN ELECTRICITY substation that Test Valley residents fear will severely impact a heritage site could be given the green light by planning chiefs. An application was submitted to Test Valley Borough Council (TVBC) to create a new electricity substation at Woodington Solar Farm in East Wellow. If approved, a substation, ground mounted solar panels, and security equipment including fencing and CCTV would be installed on land that is currently used for agricultural purposes. The site would span just over 16 acres and would be accessed by Woodington Road if given the nod by TVBC s Southern Area Planning Committee on Tuesday, April 27.
A PLAN to build an electricity substation on a Hampshire farm has received hundreds of objections from residents. Last year, an application for planning permission was made to Test Valley Borough Council to create a new electricity substation at Woodington Solar Farm in East Wellow. The plans detailed how a substation, ground mounted solar panels, and security equipment including fencing and CCTV would be installed on land that is currently used for agricultural purposes. The site would measure just over 16 acres and access would be provided from nearby Woodington Road. Now though, hundreds have objected to the plans with residents raising concerns about noise, radiation, and the industrialisation of the countryside.
