Large solar array proposed across an agricultural field at Howden Farm, with access tracks, inverters, fencing and CCTV.

As filed with the council

The proposed solar array is proposed within an agricultural field at Howden farm approximately 5km south from Haddington. The site is accessed via the b6355, utilizing the purpose-built junction for the Scott eggs hen sheds and turbine maintenance. Within the farm, existing informal field accesses will facilitate entry to the proposed solar array site. The development is surrounded by existing agricultural infrastructure including large hen sheds and a wind turbine. See appendix 2.1 and 2.2 for further geographical reference.
