Consultation and Public Exhibition

Since our public exhibition in June 2024, where we presented our plans for a solar farm on land at Fallaws Farm, Arbirlot, approximately 5km west of Arbroath, we have been refining the design in response to feedback received and ongoing surveys and assessments.

As part of our continuing pre-application consultation, we recently held a second public exhibition in the local area to present updated plans for the solar farm, ahead of submitting a planning application later this year.

The exhibition initiated a consultation period being run by RES to gather comments on the updated proposal. The closing date for comments was Friday 11 October. Comments will still be accepted after this date but may not be considered in relation to the design development. Please contact us for more information. 

Please note that comments submitted to RES at this time are not representations to the determining authority (Angus Council). There will be an opportunity to submit representations to the determining authority should an application be made. 

All information provided at the public exhibition is available below. Hard copies of the exhibition material is also available on request.  Please contact us for more information.

We have sought to address common comments raised at the public exhibition in June in these consultation materials. Alongside the below we have produced a Report on Feedback which summarises the feedback gathered from the first consultation and how we have responded to it.
