Consultation

Phase Two (Statutory) Consultation

Our second phase of community consultation is now live, running from Wednesday 19 March to Wednesday 30 April 2025.

Where we are now

We have now launched our second phase of community consultation for Lostrigg Solar. We welcome all communities and interested parties to view, discuss and comment on our updated proposals. We are committed to undertaking a transparent and rigorous consultation process, which involves engaging with the local planning authority, interest groups, educational providers and statutory consultees. This phase of consultation will run until Wednesday 30 April 2025.
