East Park Energy
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of the proposed East Park energy solar park on (a) local and (b) national energy bills.
Answered by Michael Shanks
The East Park Energy project is current at the pre-application stage and is expected to be submitted to the Planning Inspectorate by September 2025: https://national-infrastructure-consenting.planninginspectorate.gov.uk/projects/EN010141. This stage of the planning process, including the pre-application consultation process, is developer led.
In taking the decision on any development consent application, I follow the relevant requirements in the Planning Act 2008 and have regard to all relevant matters.
