Three 100% community owned sites developed for the Energy Prospects Cooperative and Harworth Estates. Engena selected the sites for Energy Prospects following a search across Harworth's former coal mine landholdings. The sites were screened to determine that they would not require Environmental Impact Assessment.

Environmental Reports were produced, based upon a series of assessments including landscape, ecology and noise. Our scope of work also included the site design and management of the sites throughout the determination process and discharge of planning conditions.

The site design required careful integration into the former industrial environments and restoration plans for the future.
