The initial proposal would have provided power to 40,000 homes

The plan would also include an energy storage facility capable of storing 37.5 megawatts of electricityOaklands Farm Solar Limited wanted to build the site close to Walton on Trent and Drakelow generating 163 megawatts of electricity per year - enough to power 40,000 homes.Land owner Keith Mallaber said: "Part of the family weren't happy with solar.

"I think it is something that ought to go ahead, we need the energy. I fully support it but as a family we have chosen not to go ahead with it," he told theA document from the Planning Inspectorate, which is overseeing the planning application due to its scale and national significance, said that "no replacement land is being pursued".

The inspectorate also said the project "remains viable" despite the loss of a quarter of the site, and that this actually provides a "benefit" due to the scheme now having "less interaction with the surrounds". Documents say a new round of public consultation is due to be carried out in light of the changes, but the Planning Inspectorate believes it "may not be necessary".Follow BBC East Midlands on

Efficacy, safety, and tolerability of antidepressants for pain in adults: overview of systematic reviewsEfficacy, safety, and tolerability of antidepressants for pain in adults: overview of systematic reviewsObjective To provide a comprehensive overview of the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of antidepressants for pain according to condition. Design Overview of systematic reviews. Data sources PubMed, Embase, PsycINFO, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials from inception to 20 June 2022. Eligibility criteria for selecting studies Systematic reviews comparing any antidepressant with placebo for any pain condition in adults. Data extraction and synthesis Two reviewers independently extracted data. The main outcome measure was pain; for headache disorders it was frequency of headaches. Continuous pain outcomes were converted into a scale of 0 (no pain) to 100 (worst pain) and were presented as mean differences (95% confidence intervals). Dichotomous outcomes were presented as risk ratios (95% confidence intervals). Data were extracted from the time point closest to the end of treatment. When end of treatment was too variable across trials in a review, data were extracted from the outcome or time point with the largest number of trials and participants. Secondary outcomes were safety and tolerability (withdrawals because of adverse events). Findings were classified from each comparison as efficacious, not efficacious, or inconclusive. Certainty of evidence was assessed with the grading of recommendations assessment, development, and evaluation framework. Results 26 reviews (156 unique trials and |25 000 participants) were included. These reviews reported on the efficacy of eight antidepressant classes covering 22 pain conditions (42 distinct comparisons). No review provided high certainty evidence on the efficacy of antidepressants for pain for any condition. 11 comparisons (nine conditions) were found where antidepressants were efficacious, four with moderate certainty evidence: serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) for back pain (mean difference −5.3, 95% confidence interval −7.3 to −3.3), postoperative pain (−7.3, −12.9 to −1.7), neurop
