Screening a site of your own?
Ashford approves 85% of solar farms. Redline puts that number, and everything else the record holds, against your own boundary: 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 Grade 2 agricultural land.
- Nutrient-neutrality catchment — Stodmarsh SAC/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 William Harvey Hospital?

Who operates William Harvey Hospital?
REPD records the operator as East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust. 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 William Harvey Hospital approved and built?
The application was submitted on 11 July 2019. Permission was granted on 16 October 2020, 15 months later. REPD does not record an operational date.
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 7542.
