Solar Farm Landscape and Visual Assessment Across the UK
The landscape team at CEL have recently been
involved in the preparation of landscape and
visual assessments for eight solar farm schemes
acro ss the UK fo r two commercial
developers including sites in Gloucestershire,
Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire and South Wales.
Sites include a scheme in the Forest of Dean for
over 20,000 panels, which was recently consented
by the Local Planning Authority.
The
developments ranged in size up to 15 hectares, with
some of the developments being screened as nonEIA and others identified to require an EIA by
Local Planning Authorities.
CEL have also worked closely with Cultural
Heritage consultants in the selection of viewpoints
for photomontage visualisations and have also
designed landscape and ecology mitigation
proposals. The developments range from well
screened sites on relatively flat land contained by
mature planting with minimal intervisibility to the
surrounding landscape, to more challenging sites
on sloping land which have a greater visibility
from the surrounding landscape.
We will be keeping in close touch with progress on
the projects as they progress through the planning
system.
