Help us protect our beautiful countryside and precious farmland that is under threat!

Large-scale solar farms are swallowing up vast areas of green fields, damaging wildlife habitats, and reducing land available for food production.

A new petition to the UK Government

A CPRE Norfolk member has secured the publication of a parliamentary petition seeking to: “Ban large solar schemes on farmland/open countryside and promote solar on roofs”.

This message is precisely the policy that CPRE Norfolk is advocating so please sign the petition and share it with others.

­SIGN THE PETITION

We fully support renewable energy, but the answer isn’t covering our countryside in industrial solar panels. Instead, we should prioritise solar panels on rooftops, car parks, and brownfield sites – places where they make sense without harming nature or taking away valuable farmland.

Please share far and wide!

Together, we can make our voices heard.
