Construction information

The project is situated on land west and east of the East Coastway Line and extends to approximately 25 hectares (62 acres) of agricultural pastureland.

In addition to having solar panels on the site, the proposal also includes biodiversity and landscape enhancement measures.

Sheep may also be grazed underneath the solar panels once operational, thereby offering dual use for the land.

The proposed construction route will access the eastern site using a temporary bridge over the Lottbridge Sewer and via Tutts Barn Lane for the western side. Construction of the project is estimated to take 12-18 weeks.

The electricity generated by the solar panels will connect into the local distribution network operator via an existing pylon on the eastern boundary of the site.
