Desford Project

 

SLP Energy is in the early stages of examining the potential for developing a wind cluster between the villages of Desford, Peckleton, Newbold Verdon and Kirkby Mallory, Leicestershire.

In November 2008, planning consent was granted by Hinckley & Bosworth Borough Council for a meteorological mast to gather site specific data on the wind speeds and direction, for a temporary period of 24 months. The mast was installed at the end of June 2009.

The proposal consists of two wind turbines. More specific details will be defined through the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process.

A scoping opinion has been received from Hinckley & Bosworth Borough Council, and environmental studies and reviews are being carried out in accordance with consultees and stakeholders requirements.

When the majority of the environmental studies have been completed, a full public consultation exercise will be undertaken. This will be prior to the submission of any planning application.
