Constructed by RWE npower renewables Sustain Landscapes were contracted to carry out landscaping and reinstatement works on the scheme. Commencing in November with the construction of over 2000 linear metres of stock proof and post and rail fencing the works continued through the winter months with the planting of over 7000 native trees and shrubs to create new hedgerows.
Sustain Landscapes returned to site in July following the completion of the main civil engineering works to reinstate the grassland and carry out wildflower seeding works.
The 6 turbine, 12 megawatt wind farm is expected to generate energy to supply the equivalent of 6400 homes annually.
