Update - August 2025

The second phase of consultation on our proposals for East Pye Solar has now closed.  

The purpose of this statutory stage of consultation was to present our updated proposals for East Pye Solar and give local communities and interested parties the opportunity to provide their views on how the plans have evolved since the initial consultation we held last year.  

Over the course of the seven-week consultation, we held six in-person events and one online event, welcoming over 550 people. We also met with individuals and organisations to understand first-hand their concerns and answer any questions.    

We are really pleased with the significant level of engagement and responses we have received over the course of the consultation. We would like to thank everyone who took part, including those who have taken the time to provide feedback.  

Now that the consultation has closed, we are reviewing all the responses alongside findings from ongoing assessments to help finalise our proposals before submitting an application for development consent to the Planning Inspectorate (PINS). We expect to submit the application later this year.  

Our final application will include a Consultation Report summarising the feedback received with an explanation of how it has informed the development of our final proposals for the Project.
