Residents in three 'Domesday villages' fear their homes will be the first in Britain to be compulsorily purchased to make way for the country's biggest-ever solar farm. Dozens of villagers living in Hempnall, Saxlingham and Tasburgh in Norfolk have received letters from a developer saying their homes 'may be required' to create space for East Pye Solar Project. The development will cover a massive 2,500 acres - the equivalent of 1,762 football pitches or the size of Chichester in West Sussex - and is 10 times bigger than the UK's current largest in Flintshire, Wales.
