Approved solar farm at Lawns Farm, Ballam road, Lytham St Annes, FY8 4NG<\/h2>\n

The approved proposal involves Lightsource bp funding the development of a solar installation that will have an output power capacity of 23.5MWp (Megawatts).<\/p>\n

We undertook a wide range of environmental assessments to select the site area shown below,including landscape and visual, heritage and archaeology, ecology and more.<\/p>\n

The Lawns Farm Solar Project community consultation took place on Wednesday 30th June 2021, in the form of a video presentation which can be viewed below, and live Q&A session. Before the event, we sent a press release to the local paper, and an information leaflet was posted to nearby residents.<\/p>\n

Information in the leaflet below was accurate at the time of publication. Statistics published on this page are accurate as of Feb 2023.<\/em><\/p>\n\n <\/span>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n
