Following consent for the 49.9MW solar farm in October 2024, RES is now preparing for construction of the project which will be capable of generating clean, low-cost electricity for around 15,000 homes every year as well as delivering a significant biodiversity net gain. A host of biodiversity enhancement measures will be implemented including the planting of some 2.5km of new species-rich hedgerow.

This website will be updated regularly as the project progresses.

Planning Application

The consented planning application for Longhedge Solar Farm can be viewed here.

The consented planning application is also available to view on Rushcliffe Borough Council's website here using reference number 22/02241/FUL.

Community Liaison Group

RES has established a Community Liaison Group (CLG) to provide a forum for discussion and exchange of information as well as to create an effective channel of communication between RES, the local community and stakeholders during construction. CLG members include locally elected representatives and other stakeholders.

Attendance at CLG meetings is for the aforementioned members who will disseminate information back to and make representation on behalf of the communities they represent.

Once the inaugural meeting has taken place, agendas, confirmed minutes and all other related documents for the CLG meetings will be published on this website, at the relevant time.
