Overview
Elgin Energy EsCo Ltd. is seeking to develop a ground mounted solar PV farm on land located at Manor Farm, Mill Road, Whitfield, Brackley, Northamptonshire NN13 5TQ. The development will occupy approximately 40 ha of agricultural land and is located approximately 700mt east of the town of Brackley.
This website was created as part of the pre-planning process in order to allow for comments and feedback from interested parties before the planning application is submitted.
It is important to note that the project is evolving through detailed design and stakeholder consultation. We suggest that you revisit the website from time to time to check on developments or changes to the project.
Public Consultation
As part of the planning consultation, we are encouraging you to leave your feedback through the survey that can be found on our website (Manor Solar Project | Survey). This will remain open until the 5th of November and will give you the opportunity to shape our proposal. In addition to the preceding initiatives and following our initial public consultation event in May 2023, we would like to invite you to a community consultation open day will be held between 3pm-7pm, Monday the 28th of October at Whitfield Village Hall, The Avenue, Whitfield, Brackley, NN13 5TE. During which team members and project specialists will be available to discuss the project.
Key benefits:
The proposed Manor Farm project will generate energy for the entire grid, contributing to local and national energy targets with additional benefits to include:
- Reducing environmental impact via the integration of more solar and wind because it enables electricity from distributed energy sources to be saved for a later, offsetting the need for building new pollution-emitting peak power plants.
