Site Location
What is the construction timeline and working hours?
Construction commenced on 7 August 2023 and will be fully complete in early 2024.
Our normal working hours are between 07.00 to 18.00 Monday to Friday, and 08.00 to 13.00 on Saturday.
We will not work on Sundays or bank holidays in England and Wales, unless otherwise approved in writing by the local planning authority.
How will you access the site?
Construction vehicles will enter the site from A414 Maldon Road via the existing access to Brookhead Farm. Vehicles will travel to and from the west, meaning they will not go directly through Maldon. This has been agreed with the local highway authority.
During construction it is estimated that there will be an average of four HGV trips each working day.
Do you need road closures or other traffic management?
There are no anticipated road closures or traffic diversions during the proposed construction period.
Any use of traffic management, including road closures, will be agreed with the local highways authority and we will notify residents and businesses that would be directly impacted.
Will public footpaths be affected?
As standard practice for Low Carbon, the Public Rights of Way (PRoW) which run through the site will be kept open throughout construction and operation of the solar farm.
In some cases, we may need to have a managed crossing on a footpath during construction for safety reasons, such as a temporarily controlled crossing and/or a banksman.
