Planning Process
Rosefield Solar Farm is classed as a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP) because of the amount of electricity it would generate (over 50MW). This means we need to apply for a type of planning consent called a Development Consent Order (DCO) to build and operate it.
Consultation is an important part of the DCO process as it enables everyone to comment on the proposals. We have consulted with Buckinghamshire Council on our approach to the next phase of consultation, which is a ‘statutory consultation’ that must be carried out in line with the formal requirements of the Planning Act 2008.
We have published a Statement of Community Consultation (SoCC) which sets out how we will consult with the local community, which you can read here.
