Following our public consultation in January 2024, we have recently submitted a planning application to North Somerset Council which has been given the reference number 24/P/1011/FUL and can be found on the North Somerset Council website.

This project has the potential to generate enough renewable electricity to meet the needs of over 13,000 homes every year, support the decarbonisation of the local area and contribute to the Government’s target of 70GW solar generation capacity by 2035.

The site has been carefully chosen for its potential to deliver clean, renewable energy directly into the local grid network. It will also support North Somerset Council’s pledge to increase renewable energy generation to reach net zero carbon by 2030.

Local feedback has been taken into account and helped shape the proposal submitted.

Enhancing important habitats and local wildlife  

We recognise that biodiversity is one of our strongest natural defences against climate change. Across our site, our plans will generate approximately 94% biodiversity net gain for habitats. 

Other biodiversity benefits include:

• 4 new ponds and enhancing 3 existing ponds
• 22.5 hectares of wildflower planting
• Approximately 6 hectares of new woodland
• New community orchard
• 26% net gain in hedgerows
