Proposals
Trant is seeking to deliver a green and sustainable scheme on site. The plan left shows the proposed layout, which is duplicated in large scale on the next board.
The proposed area of solar panels will cover 33 acres (13.5ha).
Trant are proposing to install a small solar scheme to the rear of the site with a generation capacity of approximately 5 megawatts (MW), which will create enough electricity to power about 1,000 homes. This will include about 12,000 solar panels.
The plans will include 50% bio-diversity net gain, which means there will be an improvement in bio-diversity on the site of 50% compared to what's there currently.
Trant are also proposing to improve the frontage of the site which currently looks untidy and run down.
Trant are happy to work with local residents to see improvements to the surface of Fletchwood Lane, if residents would like to see the quality of the lane improved.
Whilst the current livestock grazing land will be restricted, alternative land can be made available nearby which is within the National Park and of better quality for grazing.
