Planning Permission Granted
Cornwall Council granted planning permission for Phase 2 of Clay Country Wind Farm in July 2026. Phase 2 comprises three turbines across two sites in the China Clay area near St Austell:
- Dubbers: two turbines of up to 135m to blade tip on land at Dubbers China Clay Works, Nanpean. (PA25/09509)
- Higher Biscovillack: one turbine of up to 135m to blade tip, on land at Higher Biscovillack Farm. (PA25/09581)
Once operational, Phase 2 is expected to:
- Generate almost 37 GWh of renewable electricity a year
- Power around 8,100 Cornish homes
- Save around 7,500 tonnes of carbon each year, and around 274,000 tonnes over its lifetime
- Provide a community fund shared between St Stephen-in-Brannel and Treverbyn parish councils
Construction is expected to begin in early 2027. Updates will be shared here as the project progresses, including information about construction timings and any abnormal load movements.
