Plans revealed for huge 270 acre solar farm

Plans have been revealed for a huge solar farm across several fields in Worcestershire which would power 19,500 homes.

Rows of panels along with a battery storage facility and substation would be built between Worcester and Malvern under JBM Solar’s proposals.

The project seeks 40-year approval.

Construction would take between six and nine months if Malvern Hills District Council backs the plans for 270 acres near Bastonford, Collett’s Green and Leigh Sinton.

A planning application has not yet been submitted by the firm which is seeking a council ruling on whether the farm would first need an environmental impact assessment.
