Lidsey Renewables Ltd has submitted plans for a solar farm on 99 hectares of North Moor Farm, near Keadby in North Lincolnshire. The development, Moors Solar Farm, could generate up to 49.9MW across nine fields currently used for agriculture and partially occupied by wind turbines from SSE’s Keadby Wind Farm.
The proposal follows a separate application for Pilfrey Solar Farm on land between Ealand and Keadby. If both projects receive planning approval, they would sit approximately 220 metres apart.
Despite proximity, the two schemes are entirely independent. They have different landowners, separate electricity connection points, and will operate independently. The only commonality between them is that Sirius Planning acts as the agent for both applications.
