Proposed Development
Development Description:
ten year permission sought for alterations and extension to the solar PV and battery energy storage system development permitted under planning ref. no. 21/631 on a site comprising two distinct parcels of land either side of L5141 with a total area of c.41.60ha comprising: 1. Omission of permitted solar panels over an area of c.1.19ha to facilitate the provision of an extension to the permitted battery storage development involving a further 54 battery storage units (each with associated containerised step-up transformer) and an associated external screen bund. 2. Increase in the area to be developed with solar panels and associated works by c.32.93ha to the east and northeast of the permitted panels. 3. The primary access to the site will be via the new entrance permitted under the granted solar farm and battery storage development (planning application ref. 21/631 refers) on the L5141. A further access will be provided at the southern end of the proposed solar farm extension on the north side of the L5141 for ongoing maintenance access purposes during operation solely to facilitate temporary construction traffic between the two land parcels, an existing field entrance on the south side of the L5141 will be upgraded and a new temporary entrance directly opposite on the L5141 will be constructed that will be decommissioned upon completion of the construction works. 4. 11 no. additional single storey electrical inverter/transformer units, additional security fencing, extension to permitted CCTV system with pole mounted cameras and landscaping. 5. The provision of two areas of agricultural land enhancement and management for increased biodiversity over c.7.48ha and 6. All associated ancillary development works. The operational lifespan of the solar PV and battery energy storage system development will be 35 years. A Natura Impact Statement will accompany this application
