The proposed Boxted Solar Farm is located on land in Boxted, South Suffolk.  It is anticipated that the solar farm would be capable of generating up to 20MW of clean, low cost renewable electricity.

The site has been chosen as it has good solar irradiation levels, lies outside of any statutory environmental, ecological, archaeological and national landscape designations and due to its proximity to a viable grid connection.

RES have designed the solar farm so that it will fit sensitively in the surrounding landscape. A number of detailed assessments have been carried out to ensure any impact upon the environment, landscape, heritage and local residents is appropriately assessed and mitigated. These assessments include:

• Landscape and Visual Assessment
• Ecology and Biodiversity Net Gain
• Arboricultural Impact Assessment 
• Agricultural Land Classification
• Archaeology and Cultural Heritage
• Flood Risk and Drainage Assessment
• Traffic and Transport
• Noise Impact Assessment
• Glint and Glare
