We submitted an application for a Development Consent Order (DCO) for Longfield Solar Farm to the Planning Inspectorate (PINS) on 28 February 2022. This was accepted for Examination on 28 March 2022.
This is an important milestone for the Scheme. Our application has been informed by more than 18 months of engagement, including two rounds of public consultation. We are grateful to everyone who has engaged with us to date.
Following this decision, the Application documents are now available to view and download on the National Infrastructure Planning website. You can view the documents by clicking on this link.
The application is now at the pre-examination stage. During this time, the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy will appoint an Examining Authority and will accept relevant representations from the public.
A relevant representation is a written summary of your views on the Application. By submitting a relevant representation, you can become an Interested Party and take part in the Examination of the Application. You can complete the relevant representation form on the Planning Inspectorate’s website here.
Please note that relevant representations must be received by the Planning Inspectorate by midnight on Thursday 02 June 2022
