Standing together for Norfolk’s countryside.

Across Norfolk, communities are coming together to protect their landscapes, farmland and villages from the industrialisation of mega solar.

Local action groups have become a vital part of this movement, gathering evidence, engaging planners and sharing the lived experience of those directly affected.

The Norfolk Alliance

CPRE Norfolk helped establish the Norfolk Alliance, a network linking local campaign groups, parish councils, landowners and residents who share one goal: renewables done well.

By coordinating efforts, the Alliance ensures that Norfolk’s voice is heard in planning consultations and national discussions.

Local groups include

Block East Pye Solar Group (South Norfolk)
Stop Tasway Solar Action Group
High Grove Opposition Group
Droves Solar Awareness Group

Each group brings local insight, documenting how proposals would affect their area, from wildlife and farmland to footpaths and village life.
