Gib Lane Solar Farm is a development located south-east of Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire. The developer, Haymaker (Gib Lane Solar) Ltd, has committed £10,000 annually for a 25 year period into a Community Fund. The first donation was made in 2015, and as the Fund is linked to inflation, its annual value has now increased to c£12,500.
The Fund is for the benefit of four Parishes, Bierton, Hulcott, Aston Clinton and Buckland, and is divided up according to how much of the development was located within each Parish when the solar farm was constructed.
- Bierton – 38%
- Hulcott – 14%
- Aston Clinton – 29%
- Buckland – 19%
Groups located in one of the four Parishes can apply for grants of £250 up to the maximum amount available in their Parish. So, a community group located in Buckland could apply for a grant of between £250 and £2,375 (19% of £12,500), for example.

Application closing date: 7th October 2026 (decisions by end December 2026)
