Councils are voting through plans for ?menacing? solar farms that blight
the countryside because they are so afraid of being taken to court by
developers, a minister has admitted.

Complete drivel. Locally, in Somerset, two have recently been turned
down by the planners for sound planning reasons. Planning appeals are
not "Taken to court" but are conducted by an Independent Inspector. Of
course there is the possibility of Judicial Review but it is uncommon in
planning matters.
