Electricity Generating Works (16Mw solar farm)

The proposed development is for ‘electricity generating works (solar farm)’, consisting of:
• Solar panels (approximately 50,000 to be mounted across the site);
• Inverters and transformers (12 are proposed to be installed across the site);
• Site compound (to house the control facilities and be used for admin);
• Perimeter fencing and CCTV (fencing is proposed to be 1.94m high, with a gap at bottom to allow wildlife through);
• Transmission line connection and cabling (underground to existing substations at Ferretts Road);
• Site access and internal tracks; and
• Rehabilitation of site after 25 years to former condition.
