RES plans Longhedge Solar Farm project in Nottinghamshire
British renewables developer RES Group has submitted a planning application for its 49.9 MW Longhedge Solar Farm to Rushcliffe Borough Council. The project will be constructed in the villages of Thoroton and Hawksworth in Nottinghamshire, UK.
The proposal has been through a detailed design process, which has taken account of results from site surveys and assessments, in addition to feedback from the community and stakeholders. The solar farm is designed to enable continued prime agricultural use in the form of sheep farming alongside the production of renewable electricity and a sheep-handling facility has been included in the project's infrastructure layout.
Once operational, the solar farm is expected to generate enough clean energy for the consumption of up to 15,200 homes annually.
