Site Location
The site
The project is situated on land between Thornwood Common and Epping Upland and extends to approximately 96 hectares hectares (237 acres).
Point of connection
Low Carbon has received and accepted a grid offer with a Point of Connection (POC) at Epping Substation, which is located approximately 1.2km to the south east of the site. We are proposing that an underground cable route, of approximatly 3.1km in length, installed along public highways.
Biodiversity
In addition to having solar panels on the site, the proposal also includes biodiversity and landscape enhancement measures.
Sheep grazing
Sheep may also be grazed underneath the solar panels once operational, thereby offering dual use for the land.
