EIA - deadline 27th November.  Guidance for parishes

We have been advised that the proposed White Elm Solar Farm , that is seeking consent through the Planning Act 2008, has submitted a scoping report to the Planning Inspectorate.

Therefore, a scoping consultation has been sent by the Planning Inspectorate to the relevant consultees, including Suffolk County Council. 

Information about this can be found at as a PDF document can be accessed using this link.

The deadline for responses to the planning inspectorate is 27th November.  This is a regulatory deadline and it cannot therefore be extended. 

Further information about this project can be found on the PINS website using this link.  Here is also a link to the White Elm Solar Farm website.
