Solar in Salford

We already have a solar panel array planning application pending in Cranfiled and here's another one down towards MK. The exhibition might be informative for those moved to  go.


Plans for solar farm on land at Whitsundoles Farm, Broughton Road, Salford, MK17 8BU.

We would like to invite you to a public exhibition about the proposals for a solar farm at Whitsundoles Farm, Salford.

South Lincolnshire-based Lark Energy (part of the Larkfleet Group) proposes to develop a solar farm which will occupy approximately 70 acres of land on the site. The exhibition is being held as part of the informal public consultation for the proposed development. The public exhibition provides us with an opportunity to talk to local people about our plans and gather feedback which we will use to tailor our proposals to local needs.

The aim of this solar farm project is to produce clean, renewable energy for the local electricity grid providing enough power for over 3,000 homes.

Background

Lark Energy has a great deal of experience in planning and delivering solar farms which generate clean energy while enhancing wildlife and conservation whilst recognising the importance of the character of a particular area.

The solar panels at Whitsundoles will be screened from most directions by existing hedgerows and new indigenous hedgerow which will be planted where needed. The solar farm will be fenced off for security and will provide a haven for wildlife. 

Further details on the plans will be available at the public exhibition.

When: Wednesday 20th November 2013, 4:00pm – 7:30pm (drop in event, no need to book)

Where: The Mary Agate Hall
             Wavendon Road
             Salford
             Bedfordshire
             MK17 8BD
