Elements Green has completed the stage one consultation for its 800MW Great North Road solar farm north-west of Newark.
The consultation aimed to present early-stage proposals, and allow local communities to influence the scheme from an early stage.
The consultation included two community webinars and six in-person exhibitions, attended by over 550 people and the developer engaged with parish, district and county councillors, local interest groups and communities across the site area.
The first round of community consultation ran for six weeks, starting on 16 January.
Great North Road Solar Park managing director Mark Noone said: “We would like to thank all those who have participated in our first round of community consultation, whether this has been through attending one of our events, contacting our communications channels to ask questions, or providing your feedback.
“We are pleased to have received over 200 responses to our Stage One Consultation. This feedback will help our team to improve our understanding of the local area and the aspects of Great North Road Solar Park that local communities consider most important for us to prioritise as we further develop our proposals.
“We are now reviewing all the comments submitted to us during the consultation to shape a strong set of proposals that are sensitive to and respect concerns of local communities.
“We are currently making amendments to the scheme, and revised landscape masterplans will be circulated in the coming weeks. Our focus is on providing accurate and honest information to build an understanding of how Great North Road Solar Park can generate cheap, low carbon energy, bring benefits while minimising adverse impacts on the local environment and surrounding communities.”
