Island Green Power UK Ltd is planning the 500MW Light Valley Solar Scheme on 1,020 hectares in Yorkshire. The local council highlighted a lack of human health impact assessment in the Preliminary Environmental Information Report.
Concerns include long-term health effects, fire risks from proposed battery storage, and the use of agricultural land. The council is requesting further reports and discussions before proceeding. The project will be reviewed by the strategic planning committee next Tuesday.
