Following our public consultation in January 2024, we submitted a planning application to North Somerset Council in May 2024. Our proposals were granted planning permission in December 2024.  

Thank you to everyone who engaged with us during the exhibitions and provided feedback which has helped shape the final proposals.

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. 

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
