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
