Why this site?
The south-facing Common Farm site was selected as offering the best opportunity to host a high-capacity solar farm that links directly into the nearby electricity substation. The local electricity grid has sufficient capacity to accommodate our proposed site, which will have the generation capacity of around 49MW.
Project plan
A comprehensive traffic management plan
The main traffic route agreed in the traffic management plan is via the M1, exiting onto the A57, then B6463, onto Pocket Handkerchief Lane and then Long Road where a new site access will be created.
Consultation with Rotherham Metropolitan Council (RMBC) in association with the planning application confirmed that this was the preferred route for construction vehicles to access the site from the wider highway network.
