Screening a site of your own?
Redline runs the record on your own boundary in Nottingham: the authority’s actual approval rate and decision times, every designation inside the red line, agricultural grade, 1 m LIDAR earthworks, how contested the grid is, and yield with a P90 — before you spend on a consultant.

What this site sits on
The recorded coordinate falls on land surveyed as Urban agricultural land.
- Green Belt — Nottingham
REPD gives one representative coordinate per scheme, not the site boundary, so this describes the point on record rather than the whole site — a large site can straddle a designation edge. Boundaries come from planning.data.gov.uk, which publishes for England only.

How big is Beeston Weir Hydro Scheme?
Beeston Weir Hydro Scheme has a recorded installed capacity of 1.7 MW. That figure is the capacity registered in REPD, which is the scheme as consented — the metered output of a site can differ.
Who operates Beeston Weir Hydro Scheme?
REPD records the operator as H20 Power Limited. Ownership of built renewable assets changes hands regularly and REPD is published quarterly, so treat this as the operator of record rather than confirmation of who owns it today.
When was Beeston Weir Hydro Scheme approved and built?
The application was submitted on 20 January 1995. Permission was granted on 21 June 1995, 5 months later. The site became operational on 1 February 2000, 55 months after consent.
Source: Renewable Energy Planning Database (REPD), Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, Open Government Licence v3.0, plus planning designation boundaries from planning.data.gov.uk (England only). REPD is published quarterly and covers schemes of roughly 150 kW and above. Capacity is the installed capacity on record, not metered generation. Operator is the operator of record at the last extract, not confirmation of present ownership. Reference 414.
