Council planning record

Installation of a ground-mounted solar PV array with an installed capacity of approximately 1MWp on an unused grassed area within the Sterling Pharma Solutions site, together with associated inverters, cabling and electrical infrastructure. The panels will be mounted in an east/west orientation with a shallow pitch to minimise visual impact and glint and glare. The development is temporary and fully reversible, with all equipment to be removed and the land reinstated at the end of the operational life of the system
