Proposal

Application for a non-material amendment to allow construction of the south solar park so that it only occupies fields 6 to 9; that is, field 5 will be left unused. The south solar park will still be 4.2MW capacity, but the solar modules will be installed in a layout that only requires the use of fields 6, 7, 8 and 9. The north solar park is unchanged with 4.2MW capacity in fields 1 to 4. There will still be two, electrically separate solar farms at the site, but since the south solar park requires less land, field 5 will be left unused. 15/00502/F.
