Elements Green Publishes Phase One Consultation Summary for 800MW Solar Project
Elements Green has released an exciting update on its ambitious 800MW solar project in the UK! The Phase One Consultation Summary Report for the Great North Road Solar Park provides a comprehensive overview of the feedback received during the first phase of community consultation.
Located near Newark in the East Midlands, the project aims to be both innovative and community-focused. Elements Green is committed to ensuring the project respects and incorporates the views of local residents. The feedback collected will shape proposals that align with community recommendations and environmental considerations.
Mark Noone, Head of UK Development at Elements Green, shared his appreciation for the community’s input:
“The feedback we received during the first phase of consultation has helped our team to improve our understanding of the local environment and the aspects of Great North Road Solar Park that local communities considered most important for us to prioritize as we further develop our proposals. We have already made changes to the scheme, including the removal of some panels and relocating a substation, thanks to the valuable input from the community.”
Elements Green emphasizes the importance of continued engagement with local communities, key organizations, and stakeholders. The company is committed to meaningful communication throughout the project’s development.
The next steps involve developing more detailed proposals, followed by a second stage of community consultation towards the end of 2024. This statutory stage will allow local communities to comment on updated proposals and see how they have evolved since the initial consultation.
In preparation for this, Elements Green will conduct further environmental assessments and publish a Preliminary Environmental Information Report, anticipated this Autumn. This report will provide crucial information ahead of the second stage of consultation, where views will be sought on the location of equipment for the solar and energy park and the cable connection to Staythorpe substation.
Stay tuned for more updates as Elements Green continues to advance this landmark project, bringing sustainable energy solutions to the UK! #RenewableEnergy #SolarPower #CommunityEngagement #ElementsGreen #SustainableFuture #GreatNorthRoadSolarPark #UKSolar #GreenEnergy #EnvironmentalSustainability #EnergyTransition
