2,500-acre solar project Sunnica Energy Farm halted due to council withdrawals, despite UK government approval.

Legal challenge against Sunnica Energy Farm, a 2,500-acre solar project in Suffolk and Cambridgeshire, halted after West Suffolk Council and Cambridgeshire County Council withdraw. Despite approval by the UK government against the Planning Inspectorate's recommendation, legal action abandoned due to two councils' withdrawal and costs not justifiable. The project, approved by Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, could power 172,000 homes, create 1,500 jobs during construction, and 27 full-time jobs once operational.
