Solar Farm – Construction Update from Aura Power

Please see Construction Update details below recieved from Aura Power 29 April 2025.

  • W/C the 6th May – Piling works are due to commence. As mentioned previously, this will be the most ‘disruptive’ part of the work in terms of noise. The video in the link below gives you an idea of the noise – there is planned to be two of these machines working their way across the site. They will begin in the Woodlands end of the site (south) and work their way north over an 8 week period.

  • 28th May – Temporary road closure on the lane between Kemble and Kemble Wick near the Vicarage for approximately 3 days. This closure has been requested by Thames Water to carry out their works. We will be taking the opportunity to complete our cable installation at the same time to minimise future disruption.
  • 16th June – Washpool Lane will be temporarily closed for cable installation works. This closure is expected to last for approximately 3 days.

Please see map belowfor the location of the road closures above.

We are working closely with all relevant parties to ensure these activities are completed safely and as efficiently as possible.

I will be on annual leave from the 28th May -19th April. In my absence, please use the email address kemblesolarfarm@aurapower.com which will be picked up by the project team and dealt with accordingly. You can also call the office on 0117 214 1984.

 

We apologise in advance for any inconvenience and thank you for your continued cooperation.

Best wishes

 

Chloe Hood

Head of Communications & Engagement
