Solar Farm Application

 I think it may be worth just posting a bit about the applications for Solar Farms in our area. I dont know if anyone else has received a letter from David Davis MP (see here for my copy) about recent applications and consultations but I thought I'd send this image of the application that Mylen Leah Solar Farm have submitted which I have superimposed over the application for the Humberhead Solar Farm.

Mylen Leah solar farm in bright green - In consultation now

Humberhead Farm in dull green/grey - In early stage negotiations with ERYC and local landowners etc.

For context the Humberhead application is in early stage application on their website they say

"We are currently in the early stages of engaging with the host authority (East Riding of Yorkshire Council), statutory bodies, local representatives, landowners, and near neighbours on the project.​

We are undertaking a range of preliminary site surveys and initial assessments to identify any constraints and issues and to inform project design development, in addition to any mitigation measures that we will include.​

In tandem with this work, we will engage with the council, local representatives, landowners, and near neighbours on the project. Later this year, we will hold a full public consultation on the plans."

Mylen Leah Solar Farm is in open consultation which I think you should all have a copy of an invitation  to engage in this, They say; 

"We have now launched statutory consultation on our plans for Mylen Leah Solar Farm, a new solar project located between Seaton Ross, Melbourne, Laytham, Ellerton, East Cottingwith and Foggathorpe in the East Riding of Yorkshire.

Our statutory consultation will run from Thursday 16 April to Thursday 28 May 2026. During this period, we will be holding in-person and online consultation events where you will be able to view our proposals, ask questions and provide your feedback." 

I will put the topic for discussion on the Agenda for the Parish meeting to which everyone is invited on May 11th at Coffee and Coe 7.30pm.
