A newsletter from the East Pye Solar Farm project.
We are writing to you with an update for East Pye Solar.
We would like to thank everyone who has engaged with the Scheme and provided feedback during our Phase Two Consultation which took place between June and August 2025, and our Targeted consultation which took place between October and November 2025. The views and comments we have received from stakeholders has helped to improve our understanding of the local area and the aspects of East Pye Solar that you consider important for us to prioritise as we further develop our proposals.
Scheme Update Newsletter
The Scheme Update Newsletter provides an overview of the comments submitted to us during the Phase Two and Targeted Consultations, and how we are using this feedback to continue to shape a strong set of proposals that are sensitive to the concerns of local communities and key stakeholders, ahead of our submission of our Development Consent Order (DCO) Application to the Planning Inspectorate (PINS).
Please find the newsletter linked here. It can also be accessed via the Documents page on the Scheme website.
Next steps
We plan to submit our application in February 2026. PINS then has 28 days to decide whether to accept it to proceed to the Examination stage. For full details regarding the Examination stage, the wider DCO process, and how you will be able to have your say, please visit the PINS website. To be part of the Examination process, register for updates on the Planning Inspectorate’s East Pye Solar webpage
