Screening a site of your own?
Redline runs the record on your own boundary in Havant: 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 Non Agricultural agricultural land.
- Nutrient-neutrality catchment — Solent: Includes Chichester and Langstone Harbours SPA/Ramsar, Solent and Southampton Water SPA/Ramsar, Solent Maritime SAC, Portsmouth Harbour SPA/Ramsar
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 Southleigh Landfill?
Southleigh Landfill has a recorded installed capacity of 3.5 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 Southleigh Landfill?
REPD records the operator as ONYX LANDFILL LTD. 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 Southleigh Landfill approved and built?
The application was submitted on 6 August 1996. Permission was granted on 10 December 1996, 4 months later. The site became operational on 1 March 2003, 75 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 667.
