Project Overview
Light Valley Solar is a proposed solar farm located near Selby in North Yorkshire. The development proposal will consist of a new solar electricity generating station and associated battery energy storage system (BESS).
Light Valley Solar is proposed solar on land between Escrick, Monk Fryston, Hambleton, Chapel Haddlesey and South Milford.
The project consists of seven solar development sites totalling approximately 1,020 hectares (2,500 acres) of land, as well as additional land being used for underground cabling to connect the sites to the National Grid Monk Fryston substation.
Due to the Project’s size, it is classified as a Nationally Significant Infrastructure project (NSIP). This means that the Project will submit its application to the Planning Inspectorate (PINS), on behalf of the Secretary of State, who will ultimately decide whether to grant the project a Development Consent Order (DCO).
