Plans had come forward to create a new solar farm on land north east of Bates Lodge on Peterborough Road in Haddon.
Wessex Solar Energy said the new plant would generate enough renewable energy to power 7,713 homes a year.

Councillors had voted to refuse the planning application at the end of 2023, but the proposals were brought back following a change to the National Planning Policy Framework.
When the decision was put to a vote again, 8 councillors voted to still refuse the application with 1 councillor voting against this.
