UK-headquartered PVDP’s Botley West solar plan faces opposition in Oxfordshire PVDP proposed the 1,000-hectare Botley West Solar Farm across sites near Woodstock, Kidlington, and Botley, aiming for grid connection by 2028. The project is under government review as a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project. West Oxfordshire District Council opposed it, urging a 50% size cut due to lasting local harm. Its report flagged 10 negative impacts on landscape, heritage, and public access, with no positive ratings and seven neutral concerns like flooding. PVDP stated it adjusted panel layouts and set aside 30% of the land for mitigation. The council leader said engagement had stalled, which PVDP denied. Some residents supported the farm for its potential for climate mitigation.
