Hebden Green Solar Farm

What are the benefits of the Solar Farm?

• It will assist Cheshire West and Chester Council in reducing greenhouse gas emissions in line with local and national targets, in addition to supporting its strategy for its declared Climate Emergency.

• The proposed development will contribute towards the
  security of energy supply in the UK through the provision of local, renewable energy supply.

• No public rights of way will be closed during or after construction of the solar farm.

• New hedgerow planting is proposed and existing hedgerows will be gapped up, contributing to the overall biodiversity and landscape scheme which will be developed as part of the scheme.

• Ecological enhancements including wildflower and wild bird seed grasslands, and a range of breeding boxes for bats and birds are being considered as part of the application. We anticipate that the solar farm will have a significant positive net biodiversity impact.

• This is a temporary development, allowing the land to rest for the period of operation up to 40 years.

• The proposed solar farm will not require Government subsidy.

• Anglo Renewables is committed to using local suppliers during construction and operation where possible.

Anglo Renewables is working at the forefront of the UK’s transition to a greener, low carbon economy through identifying and developing solar sites across the country. We are supporting the country’s legislated target of reaching Net Zero by 2050 and the global movement to tackle climate change.

Large-scale solar PV (photovoltaic) technology can play a significant role in the UK’s response to both the climate and biodiversity emergencies by supporting healthy ecosystems, whilst avoiding the emissions from fossil fuel burning power stations.
