Site constraints 5

National infrastructure project: Ferrybridge Multifuel 2 (FM2) Power Station
The site is inside the project boundary. Generating station, decided. The project page says whether consent was granted. Also within 2 km: Ferrybridge Carbon Capture and Storage (at pre-application, the site is inside its boundary); Ferrybridge Next Generation Power Station (at pre-application, 440 m); East Coast Hydrogen Humber Pipeline (at pre-application, 1274 m).
Nationally significant infrastructure projects (power stations, electricity lines, pipelines, major roads and railways, harbours, airports and reservoirs) are consented by a Secretary of State under the Planning Act 2008, after an examination by the Planning Inspectorate, rather than by the council. The boundary is the one the Inspectorate consults on and can change as the scheme does. Projects are shown within 2 km of the site.

A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
