A football club's plans for a new solar farm have faced backlash from nearby residents.
If approved, the 40MV solar farm would be constructed on a 48-hectare (118-acre) greenbelt site to the east and west of Sunderland AFC's training centre near Cleadon Village, South Tyneside.
But Nigel Bundred, a South Tyneside resident, has set up a petition calling for the plans to be scrapped.
"Meeting our energy goals shouldn't be used to justify the wrong development in the wrong location," he said.
