A Wiltshire man denied solar panels on his listed home is opposing a vast 2,200-acre solar farm planned nearby.
Tony Ward, who has lived in his Grade II listed property in Chippenham for 20 years, says he was refused permission in 2005 as panels would affect views from hot air balloons.
Now, he and thousands of residents oppose the Lime Down Solar project, backed by the Duke of Beaufort, which they claim will industrialise the countryside.
Wiltshire Council has strongly opposed the plan, citing environmental and planning concerns, with public consultation set to close on 19 March.
