Site Location

Construction Information

A typical construction period for a solar farm of this scale is around 20-30 weeks. It is proposed that construction working hours would be as follows:

  • 08:00 - 18:00 Monday to Friday
  • 08:00 - 13:00 Saturday
Access information

The preferred construction route will come from the A428 onto B1042 Barford Road heading south on B1046, Potton Road.

The proposed maintenance and construction route will access the site from Potton Road through an existing access road.

We have engaged a Highways Consultant to advise us of the best route. A Construction Traffic Management Plan (CTMP) will be agreed with the Local Highways Authority ahead of any construction.

Point of connection

The electricity generated by the solar panels is proposed to connect into the local distribution network operator, via underground cables into Little Barford Substation. The underground cable is proposed to run north on Potton Road B1046, west on the A428, and south onto Barford Road.
