Plans to install 30 solar panels in a paddock in Colton have been approved.

The scheme at Bellamour Lane was given the green light by planning chiefs at Lichfield District Council.

A planning report said the decision to site the panels on the ground was made after exploring alternative options.

> “Other options for the position have been appraised – for instance roof-mounted panels were considered, however, the Bellamour Cottages are attractive, historic buildings with relatively complicated dual pitched roofs.  
>  
> “As result, is the applicants preference is for the solar panels to be ground mounted.”
