New Forest Council to Decide on Future Use of Fawley Power Station Site
HYDROGEN
New Forest District Council's planning committee will decide on February 11 regarding temporary planning permissions for the Fawley power station site, previously decommissioned in 2013. Fawley Waterside Ltd seeks to continue storage operations until December 31, 2027, despite previous approvals expiring in 2025.
Current users include construction and refrigeration firms. The site is designated for a mixed-use residential scheme, although previous plans for 1,500 homes were abandoned. A new hydrogen production facility proposal is also in development.
