I've been contacted by someone in Lancashire fighting a solar farm proposed by the same company as that at Prestwick. Keeping an eye out but you may be interested

PC wanderings has beaten me to post about the current situation on Prestwick Carr - So why not look at his excellent report and photos HERE

Does this work have planning permission?

A section of the Prestwick Carr drainage system has recently been piped and incorporated in the garden adjacent to the Prestwick to Dinnington road near its junction with the Carr road.

The drain was dug in the 1850's as part of the Prestwick Carr Enclosure Act and was maintained by the Prestwick Carr Internal Drainage Board (PCIDB) until it was taken over by the then River Authority (now Environment Agency) in the 1960's.

It would appear that a section of the Carr Drainage system was not declared "Main River" at the time of the demise of the PCIDB but never the less the 1860 Enclosure Act will ensure the status of the drain.

The Prestwick to Dinnington Road is already subjected to regular flooding in close proximity and it is hoped that the works do not exasperate the problem.
