Planning application

26/0261/NMA

Solar Farm Bowls Lane Penyrheol Caerphilly

Awaiting decision Caerphilly Non-Material Amendments

Proposal

Seek approval of a non-material amendment to planning consent 23/0116/DNS(Construct and operate a Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Farm - Development of National Significance) to update a limited number of approved drawings to reflect the updated design without altering the nature, scale, or environmental effects of the approved development. The proposed amendment aims to reflect the final dimensions and orientation of the components that will be installed on the site, and the planned internal route for the cable easement which has been updated to minimise the cable use and associated groundwork required

As published by the council, reference 26/0261/NMA

What happens while it is decided

The process from here

This application is with Caerphilly for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.

The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.

About amendments applications

How this application type works

An amendment application changes a permission that already exists. Non-material amendments cover small adjustments with no wider effect, while minor material amendments, usually made by varying a condition, allow modest design changes without a fresh application. Anything beyond that needs a new permission, so the scope here is deliberately narrow.
