Request

Planning permission for wind, solar and battery projects, I would like to request the following information;

Please provide a list of approved and not approved wind, solar and battery projects indicating MW/size for each project.

Decision

Please find below the only projects that we have granted permissions for over the period sought.

As advised previously, please also contact the relevant District/Borough Council as LCC only deal with proposals which are related to a minerals, waste or Council owned site.

Therefore proposals on other land inc commercial, industrial and other large scale projects are handled by them. Much larger-scale projects classed as Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects are not dealt with by the Local Planning Authorities and details of these can be found here: https://infrastructure.planninginspectorate.gov.uk/
