In March 2025, RES presented preliminary plans for the proposed Coltsdene Solar Farm, located on the outskirts of the village of Kibblesworth, near Tyne and Wear. 

As part of our pre-application consultation, we held a public exhibition in the local area, on Thursday 11 March to share more information about the project and to enable people to provide us with their feedback. 

The public consultation initiated a consultation period run by RES to gather comments on the preliminary proposal. 

Please note that comments submitted to RES at this time are not representations to the determining authority (Gateshead Council). There will be an opportunity to submit representations to the determining authority should an application be made.

All information provided at the public exhibition is available to view below and from the link below. Hard copies are available on request, please contact us for more information.

We were made aware that some newsletters were delivered after the public exhibition took place. This was unexpected, as they were posted with the intention of arriving 2 weeks prior to the event. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused. If you have any questions about the proposal, please do not hesitate to contact us.
