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
Community Liaison Group
RES has established a Community Liaison Group (CLG) to provide an open, transparent and constructive forum through which RES, stakeholders and the local community can discuss matters relating to the construction of the Longhedge Solar Farm. 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.
