About ILOS
ILOS is a photovoltaic (PV) developer, trusted by landowners and communities, which builds projects in line with industry best-practice to support the UK’s transition towards low carbon electricity generation. We believe a sustainable and renewable energy mix is needed to reach Net Zero emissions, with solar power playing a key role in enabling the UK to secure energy independence – alongside supporting farmers to secure the future of their farms and improving our local ecology.
Little Flanchford Farm
We are developing a proposal for a 11.32MVA solar farm located at Little Flanchford Farm, approximately 1.5km to the Northeast of Leigh, Surrey and which comprises 17ha.
We are looking for your input to help shape our plans before our submission to Mole Valley District Council. The consultation will be available between the 9 July until the 23 July 2024.
The site was identified for its proximity to a ‘point of connection’ to the electricity grid, where National Grid has confirmed capacity to input renewable energy. The site also benefits from a southerly UK location for optimum solar radiation, and the site is clear of existing infrastructure and in support of planning policy requirements.
ILOS works proactively with the landowner and local stakeholders to design a scheme that achieves its function to generate renewable energy, enhances the site’s ecology, and ensures the site is screened where possible. ILOS strives to deliver significant biodiversity net gain by bolstering existing planting and additional planting, wildflower seeding, and creating a set-aside area for ground-nesting birds.
The final proposals will be informed by the feedback received through the consultation and influenced by the landowners’ aspiration to deliver a sustainable development.
The energy generated by this proposed site will reduce CO2 pollution by 4,052 tonnes per year
Providing enough green energy for over 5,500 households
Gain for nature and biodiversity, including wildflowers sown per the ecology proposal and the planting of trees and hedgerows
Opportunities for seasonal sheep grazing
