Sunnica solar farm, close to Newmarket has been granted planning permission.

Decision on Sunnica had been delayed from September 2023. Comes as new Labour government sign off on three solar farms across the country. Reax to follow.

Government went against the Examining Authority recommendation on Sunnica.

Suffolk County Council says has "extreme disappointment" in the Sunnica decision.

Statement from Sunnica: "Sunnica is immensely pleased with the decision by the Secretary of State to grant development consent. Sunnica would make a nationally significant contribution towards the UK’s legal obligation to reach net zero emissions by 2050 and its energy security."

Not clear yet what this means for Suffolk's devolution deal which was agreed with previous Gov. Am told will be discussion between council and Gov. about what's been already agreed... guess it's then for Labour to decide if acceptable.

West Suffolk MP Nick Timothy MP asks Energy Secretary if he has visited the Sunnica solar farm site and "how many hours did it take" to read report advising against approving it. Ed Miliband says he is a "super nerd" and took decision "incredibly seriously".
