A decision on a solar farm near Newmarket has been delayed for a fourth time.

The £600million Sunnica site across Newmarket, Burwell and Mildenhall has been debated for years. 

If approved, the development would cover 2500 acres, the equivalent of around 2000 football pitches.

A decision on the plans was expected in September 2023, then December 2023, then March 2024.

With an answer finally meant to arrive this week, the decision has been delayed again until 20 June 2024.
