To amend the consented planning application 16/737 which consists of a 3.5MW ground mounted solar photovoltaic(PV) farm to generate renewable electricity on a 26.5 hectare site.

Removing the energy storage area within the northeast of the Development Site (reducing the ground disturbance area from 500m2 to 0 and Height to 0); Moving the eastern perimeter fence-line including CCTV cameras to c.150m to the west in order to be closer to the revised solar panels extent; and increasing the height of the solar panels slightly from 2300mm to 2500mm, and amending their angle span from 20-30 degrees to 10-40 degrees
