The maps have been produced to showcase the area under threat from a solar farm

Artistic and colourful maps showcasing a Doncaster area under threat from a solar farm have gone on sale.

Local artist Mick Daines has been commissioned to create the artworks of the Conisbrough Parks area in support of the Save Our Greenbelt campaign which is fighting plans to build a huge solar farm in the area.

A campaign spokesperson said: “As part of our fundraising, we have had some maps commissioned to raise awareness of what we stand to lose.”

The custom heritage map blend modern geography with historical imagination, capturing the local landscape as it stands today while simultaneously traveling back through time to depict how Conisbrough Parks may have looked centuries ago.

"Mick has captured the local landmarks as we know them today," the campaign spokesperson added, adding that the final design successfully showcases the deep-rooted local heritage of the area.

To support the initiative, a limited run of the heritage map prints has been made available to the public.

Proceeds from the sales will support the "Save Our Greenbelt" campaign.

Interested buyers can place an order by emailing the group directly at [email protected].

The Whitestone Solar Farm plan has met with widespread opposition since being announced several years ago.

More than 10,000 objections have been submitted against the project which would be built on land between Doncaster and Rotherham.

Campaign spokesperson Phillip Knight said: “A united front of residents, campaigners and politicians has emerged across South Yorkshire, with over 10,000 formal objections submitted against Green Nation's proposed Whitestone Solar Farm.

“The unprecedented response reflects deep concern about the 750MW development planned for Green Belt land across Doncaster and Rotherham.”

The grassroots Save Our Greenbelt Conisbrough Parks campaign has coordinated community action through workshops, village meetings and door-to-door engagement, helping thousands of residents submit individual objection letters.

Similar efforts have been replicated across affected communities throughout Rotherham.

All four local Labour MPs have formally objected to the scheme.

Both Doncaster and Rotherham Councils have passed motions opposing the development.

While the project is classified as a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP) and will be decided at national level, the councils' stance underscores the strength of local cross-party opposition.
