Bid to build solar farm on field to power schools

The application from the council for Pen Y Dre High School in Gurnos includes a 1.4 MegaWatt (MW) solar farm on land to the east of the school buildings and to the north and east of the replacement Goetre Primary School which is currently under construction.

The proposal would involve an array of solar panels from east to west across the site.

A site compound would be set up, the wider site would be enclosed by a 3m mesh fence and there would be lighting and CCTV included.

The existing access into the site from Sixth Avenue would be used and upgraded with an area for off-street parking and a turning area.
