EC Environmental provided the Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment for a large 35MW solar farm in rural Yorkshire, one of the largest at the time. The solar farm was successfully integrated into the existing landscape through the retention and enhancement of existing hedgerows, new lengths of native hedgerows and adequate landscape buffers to local heritage assets to preserve their setting. The solar farm was then enclosed in a band of extensive species rich wildflower meadow delivering valuable foraging and habitat for pollinators and other invertibrates.
