Project overview
Exagen is developing proposals for a solar farm and battery energy storage system on land south of Balsall Common, Solihull.
These proposals would generate clean, renewable energy through solar photovoltaic panels, which would connect to the electricity grid network to provide power to UK homes, or be stored on site for when it is needed most.
We want to hear your views on our proposals. We are engaging with local communities to shape our development such that it has the least environmental impact whilst delivering much needed benefits in tackling the ongoing climate, energy and biodiversity crises we face.
The online survey for the Holly Lane Energy Park has now closed, you can still submit comments via hollylaneenergypark@exagen.co.uk or to the local planning authority once an application is submitted.

- Mark has spent 20 years in land development and has extensive experience of identifying, designing, consenting and delivering successful land development projects, including wind, solar, energy storage and thermal. He previously worked at Banks Renewables for 18 years holding various roles in development, technical design and construction project management across multiple asset classes. He holds a HNC Electrical & Electronic Engineering, BA (Hons), Industrial Design from Teesside University.
- Edward has worked in the energy sector since 2008 with project assets including waste to energy, gas peakers, solar and storage. Throughout his career, Edward has sourced and managed a pipeline of several hundred megawatts focusing on capacity market contracts and more recently subsidy free solar developments. He joined the team in September 2021 and will be working alongside clients throughout the development process, managing sites from inception to completion.
- As a Project Development Coordinator with Exagen Development, Flavia is part of the team that develops utility scale renewable energy projects, from initial conception right through to final completion. She completed her BASc: Science and Engineering degree at UCL in London, UK and UCF in Freiburg, Germany.
- Andrew has 17 years planning and environmental assessment experience, nearly 12 of which have been in renewable energy consenting at Arcus. Managing more than 130 planning applications for almost 5 GW of solar, wind, battery storage, grid management and gas peaking projects combined, Andrew works closely with key stakeholders during the planning process to manage risks and deliver a high project consent rate. He holds a MSc in EIA, Environmental Auditing and Management Systems and is an IEMA Registered EIA Practitioner.
