Would you be kind enough to advise me as to if and/or when the original Ferrybridge C power station is to be demolished please? As grateful as I am for the information on offer regarding the multi fuel power project I have found that your information has provided to be 'heavy going'; I am keen to know if any of the new development will be visible from my home on Hillcrest Road Townville (ordinance survey explorer 289 map reference 463253). Currently I can only see the very tops of the old pair of chimneys in the winter months when there are no leaves on the trees. Due to the juxtaposition of the woods the view from the back of my house has been a major feature of my location. At the time of writing I do not see any of the new development from my property and am keen to know if it is to stay that way. Thank you for your time.
Advice given
Thank you for your email which has been received in the inbox for the Ferrybridge Multifuel 2 (FM2) Power Station. The FM2 project has been consented in July 2016. On 11th January 2018 the Applicant has made an application to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy for a non-material change in relation to the alternative provision of land for landscaping and biodiversity enhancement.
However, it appears that you might be referring to the Ferrybridge D Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) Power Station Project which is at the pre-application stage, and we would suggest that you direct all your queries to the developer at jim.lawrie@sse.com as the project has not been submitted to the Planning Inspectorate yet.
Advice note eight provides information on how to get involved in the pre-application process, and later in the examination of the application, should it become accepted by the Planning Inspectorate.
