- The Government is consulting on planning for renewable energy projects.
- Currently these plans are focussed on building huge industrial solar ‘farms’ on green space and fertile farmland across the British countryside replacing both rural and literary landscapes.
- If you want to support strengthening planning rules to protect literary landscapes that have inspired some of our greatest works of literature, help us send a powerful message to Government.
Please take a few minutes to tell the Government why you support introducing increased protections for literary landscapes – such as the last remaining landscape of J.R.R. Tolkien in the area around the real-life ‘Bag-End’ farm where Tolkien took his inspiration for the homes of the Hobbits.
Fill out this form to quickly and easily express your support- an email will pop up for you to submit as a consultation response. You can add any further reasons to explain in your own words the importance of protecting this cultural legacy.
We will also send your comments to your local MP so they know their constituents want to see solar energy delivered in a way that protects our green spaces, and other relevant decision makers.
Submissions must be made before the 24th September consultation deadline.
