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.
