SLD Invited to Attend Wiltshire County Council Cabinet
On Tuesday, 6 January 2026, SLD were invited to speak at the Cabinet meeting ahead of WCC submitting their Relevant Representation to the Planning Inspectorate on the IGP application for Lime Down.
We are delighted with the outcome. Issues were debated and decisions made that show SLD and WCC are in alliance. The SLD campaign was also praised for it's strength and expertise.
In WCC's own press release they state: " Wiltshire Council's Cabinet has today (Tuesday 6 January) approved the council's Relevant Representation for the proposed Lime Down Solar Park, confirming that it does not support the Development Consent Order (DCO) application for the proposed Lime Down Solar Park. "
" The councillors agreed with officers' recommendation that development consent should not be granted for the scheme as currently submitted and that the reasons should be included in its Relevant Representation to the Planning Inspectorate."
"The scale and location of the Lime Down Solar Park raise serious concerns about landscape, ecology, heritage, the economy and the impacts on Wiltshire communities.
We believe the applicant has failed to address a significant number of issues and that the application should not proceed as it is.
We will continue to engage in the examination process to ensure Wiltshire and its residents' interests are protected."
Stop Lime Down was represented at the Cabinet meeting by Sir Mike Pitt and Neil Hamilton.
