Generating about 1,350,000kwh per year, the expected life of the panels is approximately 35 years

A large-scale solar farm that will power almost 500 homes has been proposed for green belt land in Knowsley.

The NSC proposal could also deliver economic benefits and Knowsley Council expect the scheme to boost the local economy and create various new jobs. The plans also include additional biodiversity improvements such as the creation of a wild flower meadow to the south of the proposed solar panels. The National Planning Policy Framework defines 'special circumstances' and explains the planning system should support the transition to a low carbon future. Planners are advised to factor in the importance of even small-scale projects which provide a 'valuable contribution' to cutting greenhouse gas emissions.
