A northern site, which was part of the original Kingfisher proposal, would be around three miles (4.8km) north of Beverley, to the east of the A164.<\/p>\n
The new southern site would be located south-west of the A1079 and connected to the planned Wanlass Beck substation, which is an extension of the existing Creyke Beck substation.<\/p>\n
Randall Linfoot, from Clean Air Solar Farm, said the development would make “a significant contribution toward meeting the country’s ambitious plans to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050”. <\/p>\n
He added: “We are committed to making a long-term, positive impact with these proposals and feedback from the community is critical.<\/p>\n
“We would like to thank everyone for the time taken to engage with Kingfisher Solar Farm. <\/p>\n
“All the feedback received to date has been carefully reviewed and fed into our plans.”<\/p>\n
A series of public drop in sessions will be held by the developer across the area in June.<\/p>\n
McManus said: “Beverley will now be completely surrounded by solar farms.<\/p>\n
“The character of the area will change forever. These are long-term proposals which future generations will inherit.”<\/p>\n
Due to its size, a decision whether to approve the scheme will be made by the government.<\/p>\n
