On 2 July 2026, the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero granted development consent for the Dean Moor Solar Farm, a project owned by FVS Dean Moor Limited. The Planning Inspectorate received the application on 26 March 2025 and opened it for examination on 15 April 2025. After a five‑and‑a‑half‑month process that included public, statutory consultees and interested parties giving evidence, the Examining Authority recommended the project to the Secretary of State on 2 April 2026. This is the 110th of 178 energy applications examined to date and was completed within the statutory timescale set by the Planning Act 2008. The decision, recommendation and evidence are available on the National Infrastructure Planning website. Journalists can contact the Planning Inspectorate Press Office at 0303 444 5004, 0303 444 5005 or press.office@planninginspectorate.gov.uk.
