Latest Update
The targeted consultation for Lime Down Solar Park has now closed.
A stage of targeted consultation ran for six weeks, from Tuesday 03 June to Friday 11 July 2025. We would like to thank everyone who took the time to participate and share their views with us.
This consultation enabled us to present and consult on a series of minor amendments to the development boundary area for the Project compared to the boundary we consulted you on during our Stage Two consultation (Jan – Mar 2025).
The feedback received during Stage Two consultation and the targeted consultation is being carefully considered alongside ongoing design and environmental work. This will help shape the refined design for Lime Down Solar Park, which we will submit to the Planning Inspectorate (PINS) as part of our application for development consent.
Our application to PINS will include a Consultation Report summarising the issues raised along with an explanation of how we have taken views into account to develop our proposals as submitted.
We anticipate submitting our application in September 2025. After receiving our application, PINS has 28 days to decide whether to accept it so it can proceed to the examination stage. If accepted, PINS will publish all the application documents, including the Environmental Statement and Consultation Report, on its website.
Subject to our application being accepted, you will be able to directly register your interest in our proposals with PINS. PINS will then keep you informed about the progress of our application as well as further opportunities for you to inform and contribute to that process. At this stage, you’ll be able to provide PINS with any further feedback you might have on the Project, including on the materials we submit in our application.
