6 FAQs about [Land policy basis for solar power plants]
Do solar farms need planning permission?
Solar farms with a generating capacity below 50 megawatts (MW) need planning permission from the local planning authority (LPA). Solar farms with a generating capacity above 50 MW need development consent from the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, because they are nationally significant infrastructure projects’ (NSIPs).
Can solar farms be installed on agricultural land?
However, it does not prohibit the siting of solar farms on agricultural land. Solar farms are not evenly distributed across the UK. 43% of ground-mounted installations (that have a capacity of at least one megawatt) that are already operational or are awaiting/under construction are located in the South East and South West of England.
Should ground mounted solar farms be based on land type?
While policy directs ground mounted solar farms to areas of previously developed or lower grade agricultural land, where such opportunities exist, it also recognises that land type should not be the overriding factor governing site suitability.
Do solar projects need environmental legislation?
Guidance and best practices on nature conservation and degraded ecosystem restoration are also required to reach both climate and nature protection objectives. This report provides support to solar industry stakeholders, detailing relevant EU environmental legislation for solar projects.
Can a local highway authority impose controls on a solar farm?
2.10.139 In some cases, the local highway authority may request that the Secretary of State impose controls on the number of vehicle movements to and from the solar farm site in a specified period during its construction and, possibly, on the routeing of such movements particularly by heavy vehicles.
Do solar farms need development consent?
Solar farms with a generating capacity above 50 MW need development consent from the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, because they are nationally significant infrastructure projects’ (NSIPs). Planning is a devolved matter.
