Willersey Solar Farm
North Cotswolds
Willersey Solar Farm is located just to the north-west of the village of Willersey,
Gloucestershire. Set back off the road and surrounded by existing hedgerows, the site is
well screened. Following consultation with the local community, BELECTRIC reduced the size
of the project to avoid development along the most exposed edge of the site. Furthermore,
the use of thin film, frameless modules helped to minimise the impact of long-distance views
from the Cotswold Escarpment (part of the AONB).
As part of BELECTRIC’s commitment to providing environmental enhancements on our sites,
an extensive planting plan will be implemented which includes planting sections of wild-flower
meadows within the site and installing bee-hives.

“It was a pleasure to work with Belectric throughout the development process. They
delivered at each stage including achieving planning consent in a notoriously difficult
area and delivering the highest construction standards within a clearly defined
programme. I would recommend them to any landowner looking for a market
leading developer to manage the whole solar farm lifecycle.”
