A picturesque Norfolk village faces upheaval after developers behind one of Britain's largest solar energy projects revealed plans to funnel construction traffic through its narrow main street over the next two years.The East Pye solar farm, spanning 2,718 acres of surrounding countryside, would require oversized loads measuring up to 5.5 metres in width to pass along the historic thoroughfare in Saxlingham Nethergate, home to roughly 700 residents.To make this possible, the company intends to widen the road - currently just 4.5 metres across - provoking fury among locals who say the route is entirely unsuitable for industrial-scale transport.Tonnes of heavy machinery and equipment would need to travel through the village during the construction phase.
