Proposals to install 32 ground-mounted solar panels in Stanbury were recommended for approval by parish councillors.

Members of Haworth, Cross Roads and Stanbury Parish Council said they would be prepared to see the devices installed at Buckleys Barn, Cold Knowle End Road.

Coun Angel Kershaw successfully recommended the council’s support be conditional on the site being returned to green field status if the solar panels happen to be removed at a future date.

Bradford Council planners will be responsible for deciding whether or not the panels should be allowed.
