About the Project
South Farm Solar Park is an operational solar energy project developed and operated by Voltalia UK Ltd (‘Voltalia’). The site is located approximately 1km south-west of Spetisbury in Dorset.
The project began generating clean energy in December 2022 following planning consent from Dorset Council in November 2019 (application reference. 2/2019/0850/PAEIA).
Documents submitted for the planning application can be viewed on the Dorset Council online Planning Register.
