A councillor says plans to power 16,000 homes in Thurrock would destroy a nature reserve viewpoint.
Rayleigh Green Limited said it would have created new habitats for wildlife to mitigate the green belt developmentPlans for a solar farm in Essex that developers said would power about 16,000 homes have been refused.
Thurrock Council's planning committee said the proposal for fields near the Fobbing Marsh Nature Reserve would overdevelop green belt land. The Conservative-led council has invested hundreds of millions of pounds in solar energy elsewhere in the UK.Rayleigh Green Ltd proposed installing the panels on 331 acres of land - across eight fields - south of Marsh Lane between Corringham and Basildon.It said 49.9MW in electricity would be supplied to the National Grid each year - enough to power 16,100 local homes.
