ABOUT THE PROJECT
Infraland Ltd and Boultbee Brooks Renewable Energy Ltd are proposing to develop a new solar farm to be known as Highgate Lane Solar Farm.
The transition to a low carbon energy system is necessary to avoid the catastrophic effects of climate change. The UK’s legal climate change commitment requires achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 and more renewable energy generation is needed to meet this target. Solar farms offer a low cost and safe form of renewable energy generation. Solar powered electricity reduces the levels of carbon dioxide that are being emitted into the atmosphere by replacing the demand on electricity generation from fossil fuels. The temporary ‘rewilding’ of the land, through the provision of species rich grassland beneath and around the panels within a solar farm and the delivery of new boundary landscaping, results in considerable increases in biodiversity and provides new habitats for wildlife. It also allows the land to rest, which can improve the quality of the soil.
The planning application has been submitted to West Lindsey District Council. You can find the details of the application on their public access database at www.west-lindsey.gov.uk, where you will have the opportunity to provide comments on the proposed development.

Infraland Ltd and Boultbee Brooks Renewable Energy Ltd are working together to develop a new portfolio of efficient and biodiverse solar parks across the UK. The partnership is led by individuals with over 70 years of combined experience in clean energy and sustainable development projects in the UK and Europe. We are now harnessing that experience to contribute to the UK's net zero 2050 carbon target. We are also committed in achieving biodiversity enhancements in and around the projects we work on by sensitively assessing and supplementing existing habitats.
