| Bradley Woods - close to the site earmarked for a solar farm |
A SOLAR Farm could be on the cards for land on the outskirts of Grimsby.
It is understood that nine field parcels, comprising a total of 125-ha off Bradley Road, has been earmarked by a developer whose identity is, as yet, unknown.
The consultants making preliminary inquiries with North East Lincolnshire Council are GP Planning, of Daventry in Northamptonshire.
Says the firm: "The site lies to the north of Barnoldby-le-Beck which is approximately 500 metres in distance at its nearest point.
"The site is partially bounded to the east by Bradley Road.
"Waltham village is located approximately 280m to the south-east.
"Bradley Road runs north-south to the east. There are farm buildings, associated with Netherwood Farm, located between Bradley Road and the site. These fall under the same landownership.
"Bradley Lakes lie on the northern boundary."
The report continues: "There is an existing solar farm between Laceby Manor and the site. This abuts part of the western boundary.
"The immediate area comprises similar agricultural fields, interspersed with small woodland blocks and individual farmsteads.
"The site is split down the middle by the Team Gate Drain which includes a vegetated strip to a width of approximately 20 to 70m.
"Bradley and Dixon Woods Local Nature Reserve is located approximately 320m to the north.
"The nearest residential properties to the site are: Low Farm, 140m east; Netherwood Farm, 200m east; Netherwood, 280m east; and Glebe Farm Cottage, 140m south.
"Netherwood Farm comprises commercial and farm buildings.
"There is a footpath (no. 93) which runs along the western boundary and then through the centre of the site northwards into Bradley Wood.
"The land is shown as Grade 3 - in other words between good and moderate quality."
No formal planning application has yet been submitted pending a decision by NELC on whether an Environmental Impact Assessment should first be carried out.
