Writing in today's EDP, Mr Farage said his party would use "every legal tool available" to block the growing number of schemes being proposed across the county, if it wins the Norfolk elections on Thursday.

These include the 4,000 acre High Grove development and 2,800 acre Droves project - both near Swaffham - as well as the 2,700 acre East Pye scheme and 3,600 acre Tasway one, both near Long Stratton.

Mr Farage wrote: "The British countryside is under siege. All across Norfolk and the wider East Anglia region, vast tracts of productive farmland are being earmarked for enormous industrial solar installations.
