The site lies on land at Twelve Acre Farm, between Chilbridge Road and the A40 and heading west towards South Leigh. Planning documents dating back to 2019 are available on the District Council website.
Low Carbon, the management company, claims that it "could power just over 10,000 local homes. The electricity produced will be exported to the local distribution network (LDN) with surplus electricity being stored onsite in batteries, as well as charging at times of low demand and exporting power back onto the electricity grid at times of high demand or when solar irradiation is low."
