The project aims to generate enough energy for 136,000 homes and includes plans for solar panels of up to 11.4ft (3.5m) in height. Developer RWE said it had listened to residents' concerns, reduced solar panel numbers and planned to use bushes and trees to screen them.Peartree Hill is made up of several areas of land being connected by a series of underground cables.

The most northern part of the site is located northwest of Leven, with the remainder of the site to be located on land between the villages of Tickton, Riston, Wawne, Weel and Woodmansey.The planning inspectorate said it expects the application to be submitted this month. The final decision will be made by the energy secretary.UK planning guidance for solar panels states they should be sited at least 164ft (50m) from the nearest home.

But some residents believe the industrial nature of the projects will impinge on their everyday lives.Simon Skelton's home near Gainsborough is in the centre of a solar park that's now been approved and he is concerned about the height of the panels.

He said: "Every window we look out of it'll be solar panels, ranging from a few hundred metres away to just 50m (164ft) away.

"These are 4.5m (14.7ft) high, so the height of a double-decker bus. They're impossible to screen."In September, thirteen volunteers and two staff from Butterfly Conservation carried out surveys at 20 sites, with recorded numbers more than doubling.

A short spell of dry, clement weather in June is thought to have played a part in the butterfly’s surge, along with site management.The charity’s Northern Ireland Conservation Manager Rose Cremin said the results were “a good sign” that work to protect habitats was delivering.

“Now we need the government to continue to reward farmers for farming with nature," she said.“We urge the government to put more money into agri-environment schemes aimed at not just maintaining but increasing the grassland habitat which can provide a home for marsh fritillary and a host of other species."
