Yet another example of this Labour government not supporting hard-working farmers or their family business. Well done for putting together such a professional objection to this scheme - I’m really sorry (but not surprised) that you didn’t get the result you deserved.
🧵Yesterday @mtpennycook on behalf of @AngelaRayner allowed the @Harmony_Energy_ appeal for #solar and #bess in #malton We are devastated at this decision which will cause immeasurable damage to our successful farming business and leaves is with a very uncertain future.

We would like to thank Mark Blakeston for his hard work as he steps down from leading the Grow Yorkshire. Under his leadership over the last five years, Grow Yorkshire has built a strong partnership between key agricultural organisations. Thank you Mark for all your passion.

I’ve been proud to lead the work of Grow Yorkshire for the past 4-years - so I’m pleased to see Food & Farming as the No.1 priority in Y&NY. Let’s hope the other Yorkshire Combined Authorities will do the same. #supportbritishfarming #NoFarmersNoFood
York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority has put food and farming at the top of its long-term growth plan. So, Farming Outlook spoke to Mayor David Skaith to talk through his plans and support for the region’s farmers. Listen to this and more: https://t.co/U6qz4tESce

Great to hear that Food & Farming is the No.1 priority in York & North Yorkshire. #SupportBritishFarmers #NoFarmersNoFood
York and North Yorkshire's farmers have a big part to play in our environmental ambitions. With more than 70% of our region used for agriculture, we need to be a trailblazer. So I was pleased to launch this programme to work with farmers towards a more sustainable future.
