What’s proposed
to amend the consented planning application 16/737 which consists of a 3.5MW ground mounted solar photovoltaic(PV) farm to generate renewable electricity on a 26.5 hectare site. The consented development comprises solar arrays, associated electrical infrastructure, fencing, access improvements and ecologically beneficial landscape works on lands. Permission sought to amend Condition 2 and thereby change the permission period from 10 years to 5 years and to extend the lifespan of the consented development from 25 years to 35 years. Permission is sought to amend the consented layout by: Reducing the length of the internal access track from c1,383m to c.816m; Removing the six substations/energy storage containers (6x9m length by 3m width by 3mHeight); Relocating the temporary construction compound area to the field to the west and increased in size from c.2400m2 to c.5000m2(building dimensions remain unchanged from consented temporary construction compound details). Removing the energy storage area within the northeast of the Development Site (reducing the ground disturbance area from 500m2 to 0 and Height to 0); Moving the eastern perimeter fence-line including CCTV cameras to c.150m to the west in order to be closer to the revised solar panels extent; and increasing the height of the solar panels slightly from 2300mm to 2500mm, and amending their angle span from 20-30 degrees to 10-40 degrees
