Site constraints 5

National infrastructure project about 144 m away: Ferrybridge Multifuel 2 (FM2) Power Station

The site is about 144 m from the project boundary. Generating station, decided. The project page says whether consent was granted. Also within 2 km: Ferrybridge Next Generation Power Station (at pre-application, the site is inside its boundary); Ferrybridge Carbon Capture and Storage (at pre-application, about 91 m); East Coast Hydrogen Humber Pipeline (at pre-application, about 1130 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.

Radon affected area, class 2; Coalfield, development low risk area; Scheduled monument about 248 m away: Ferrybridge Henge, a prehistoric enclosure, and two round barrows; Inside the Holmfield built-up area.

Checked on 11 October 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area.

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