Planning application

Solar Farm Bowls Lane Penyrheol Caerphilly

Awaiting decision Caerphilly 26/0261/NMA Non-Material Amendments

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

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

About amendment applications

An amendment application makes limited changes to a permission that already exists; anything beyond modest adjustment needs a fresh application. More in our guide to planning application types.
