Says Court Solar Farm Community Benefit
Information about Says Court solar farm
Benefits to Westerleigh Parish were agreed following the granting of the planning application for the Solar Farm at Says Court. These benefits were negotiated from the day of commissioning until de-commissioning and last for a period of 25 years.
The Parish Council receives £19,800 per annum to spend on items which will benefit the community of Westerleigh & Coalpit Heath parishioners.
The Council would love to hear from anyone who has ideas about how these monies can be spent to maximize benefits to the parish – please contact the Parish Clerk in the first instance.
As part of this agreement the parish worked with Avon Wildlife Trust to implement two wildlife habitats adjacent to the Says Court Solar Farm (e.g. measures to increase bio diversity, related education and involvement of local volunteers). Project now closed.
