Pegasus Group has secured planning permission for a 50 MW solar and battery storage scheme in the UK on behalf of JBM Solar Projects.
Swindon Borough Council approved the solar farm and associated infrastructure on land near Stanton Fitzwarren, Swindon.
The proposed solar farm will involve the temporary change of use of the land but, due to the time-restricted nature of the development, the agricultural use will be retained in the long term. The site will also be capable of dual-use farming during its operational period, with small livestock able to graze the land between and amongst the panels.
