    Brief

    Westmorland and Furness Council is seeking a planning and design consultant to prepare and submit a planning application for a approximately 2 MW solar photovoltaic (PV) farm at Redhills, Penrith (CA11 0DQ). This project is part of the Council's Renewables Generation Programme and supports their Carbon Management Strategy 2024-2029, with the goal of achieving net zero Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2037. The solar farm will be located on Council-owned land and will complement an existing 2 MW operational solar PV farm at Sandscale, helping the Council meet its residual emission reduction targets. The successful consultant will be responsible for all aspects of initial design and planning submission, including site analysis, technical design, environmental assessments, and preparation of planning application documentation.
