Old Hall Farm is based in Woodton, near Bungay, next to land earmarked for the East Pye Solar project - a sprawling 2,718-acre planned development split across 10 sites between Norwich and Harleston.

The proposals have sparked widespread concerns over the loss of productive farmland and the destruction of rural landscapes.

But Rebecca Mayhew, who runs Old Hall Farm with her husband Stuart, said her major worry is the impact of the energy cable corridor which crosses the grazing land for her 300-strong herd of dairy cattle.

"We are talking about a kilometre of cable corridor with a 50-metre working width, so there's going to be a swathe of land, 50 metres wide, which will have to be fenced off for up to two years," she said.

"It's going to cut us off from 80pc of our grazing platform. The proposed cable corridor would leave us with access to less than 100 acres out of 500.

"I've tried to explain that I will need a crossing point with access 24/7 and you can see people getting quite irate at that thought. But I have to get my cattle to the grazing, I can't just go up the road.
