EDF Renewables UK and Luminous Energy have updated the design of their Springwell solar farm.
Changes include further design of offsets from homes and villages, including proposals for new planting, as well as an overall reduction in the size of the area proposed for solar panels.
The local community was invited to share views on the solar farm in North Kesteven, Lincolnshire as part of a consultation on the updated proposals.
This will be the second stage of public consultation on the proposed solar farm with battery storage, which is located between Lincoln and Sleaford.
Previous feedback from the community and stakeholders, along with outputs of early environmental assessments and technical work, helped to shape the updated proposals.
Consultation will run for six weeks from 11 January 2024, with all feedback to be submitted by 11.59pm on 22 February 2024. Feedback from this stage of consultation will be used to refine proposals before an application is submitted to the Planning Inspectorate.
EDF Renewables UK’s Director of Storage, Solar and Private Wire Matthew Boulton said: “We are grateful to everyone who shared their views with us earlier this year. Feedback will continue to be important as we refine our proposals for Springwell. I encourage everyone to get in touch, meet with us and share their views during the consultation.”
