Site Location

The project is situated on land south of Swaffham Prior and extends to approximately 80 hectares (197 acres) with approximately 75 hectares (185 acres) within the Solar Development Site and approximately 5 hectares (12 arcres) within the 6.6km Cable Connection Route.

The Cable Connection Route extends for approximately 6.6km across agricultural land adjacent and parallel to Heath Road, with a further section within the highways along the B1102, Reach Road and Weirs Drove. The Cable Connection Route includes a buried cable connection to connect the Solar Development Site with the existing UKPN Substation.

In addition to having solar panels on the site, the proposal also includes biodiversity and landscape enhancement measures.

Sheep may also be grazed underneath the solar panels once operational, thereby offering dual use for the land.
