  amend the design of the approved development (Planning Ref: 19/600239) which comprises consent for the development of a temporary (30 years) solar farm with an export capacity of 12 MW comprising of photovoltaic panels on ground mounted frames with associated infrastructure including 4 no. inverter housing cabins, 1 no. control building, 1 no. customer cabin (substation), 1 no. DNO substation, temporary construction compound, ducting and electrical cabling, perimeter agricultural fencing, mounted CCTV cameras and internal access tracks subject to 16 conditions. Amendments proposed are: - - Although the height of the solar panels is increased from 2.7m to a maximum 3.2m, the glint and glare impacts will reduce due to advancements in the assessment and software used. The panel tilt angle will change from between 15 and 25 degrees to 15 and 30 degrees; - The number of solar modules will reduce from 39,168 to 30,060 and the number of pile driven poles installed will increase from 2,548 to 4,258; - Although there will be an increase in the number of Inverter Substations from 4 to 6, these have a lower noise output and will therefore result in lower noise impacts; - An increase in CCTV cameras along the perimeter fence from 8 to 12; - Although the road will remain at a width of 3.5m, the point where it connects from the southern to northern lands is moved to use the existing access; - An almost identical footprint which will increase by 0.03% to 4.08%; and – Increase the output from 12MW to 16MW
