A solar farm the size of 100 football pitches has been lined up for the site of a famous stately home on the outskirts of Wolverhampton.
Elgin Energy has more than 20 solar farm projects across the UK
Documents detailing the scheme say it will feature 40 mega watts of solar panels and the same amount of battery storage on land at Port Lane, off the M54. Elgin Energy said the scale of the scheme has been reduced by 30 hectares following feedback from South Staffordshire District Council during the planning pre-application process.It will feature southward-facing rows of solar panels, separated by a gap of between 2m and 6m.
It is proposed that installation will take 12-24 weeks, with local contractors brought in to maintain the site once operational. Elgin Energy says a socio-economic report is being prepared, to show how the development"will benefit the estate and financially support it, assuring its continued operation/viability".
