Leigh Farm community wind turbine proposal: public consultation events January 2026

This project proposes two wind turbines to be built next to the M4. Profits from the turbines planned for Leigh Farm, between Pucklechurch and Westerleigh, would benefit people in South Gloucestershire, say the groups behind the project, “with particular focus on communities closest to the site”.
The project to build turbines to generate 8.5 megawatts of renewable energy – enough to power 6,000 homes – was first revealed when South Gloucestershire Council’s cabinet decided in July to allow them to be built on 228-acre Leigh Farm, between the M4 and Westerleigh Crematorium north of the M4.

Renewable energy organisation Bristol Energy Network, which is leading the project and working with Emersons and Lyde Green Community Energy (ELCoE) and South Gloucestershire Community Energy Network (SGCEN), has announced a series of public consultation events where residents can find out more.
