A massive 170-acre solar farm is poised to get the green light in Stoke this week. Councillors are being recommended to approve the controversial development at a meeting on Tuesday, despite concerns raised locally about the scheme.
The decision will come down to a vote on Tuesday when council bosses decide whether to back the solar farm project. Officials appear ready to rubber-stamp the plans, though the proposal has raised eyebrows in the Stoke community.
The scale of the development has triggered concerns among some residents and local figures. However, with councillors being recommended to approve the 170-acre site, the project looks set to move forward in Stoke.
The outcome of Tuesday's meeting will determine whether this major renewable energy development gets built on the Stoke site. Residents and interested parties have been watching the proposals closely as the council prepares to make its final decision.
