Thorpe Bank Solar Farm

We were engaged by Lightsource bp to prepare a planning application for the proposed development, including specialist assessments. Following a topographic survey undertaken by our team, we provided the planning statement and assessments for landscape impact, heritage, transport, arboriculture and flood risk.

Thanks to our robust assessments and appraisals, our team were able to prove that the benefits of the solar farm were significant enough to outweigh the limited, localised and temporary harms. The application was made under Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, with Planning permission granted within the 13-week statutory deadline.
