Developers behind plans for a solar project in West Lindsey are inviting people to take part in the consultation process.
Low Carbon are looking to develop the Gate Burton Energy Park which is a proposed solar and energy storage park with an anticipated generation capacity of above 50 megawatts (MW).
Public consultation is proposed to take place over a period of six weeks and three days (45 days).
The developer’s statutory consultation starts from 22 June to 5 August 2022. The consultation period is more than the minimum period of 28 days required.
This large scale (nationally significant) infrastructure projects (NSIP) will go to the Government, via its Planning Inspectorate, for a Development Consent Order (DCO).
It will not go through the normal local planning requirements, which means that West Lindsey District Council is not the decision-making body for this application.
The developers are required to consult on their plans before submitting the applications.
