I have read your recent report and this seems in conflict with a recent announcement that you were demolishing and going on to gas. Please confirm where we now stand. It is getting confusing.

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. It can be found at this link: https://infrastructure.planninginspectorate.gov.uk/legislation-and-advice/advice-notes/
