A 17-acre solar farm for a food producer, famous for its breed of duck, has been approved, despite objections by some of its soon-to-be neighbours. Mid Suffolk District Council approved plans by Gressingham Foods in Redgrave, and Centrica Business Solutions, to construct solar panels on four of the site’s buildings and use more than 15.5 acres of land south of its factory. The £5m distribution centre of Gressingham Foods in Redgrave started in 2007But some villagers have voiced their concerns at the plans. In a written submission to the council’s planning team, one objector said: “This proposed solar farm in our conservation area will have no benefit to the local community, nor our small village, only to the factory and energy supplier.
