Site constraints 5

National infrastructure project about 350 m away: Ferrybridge Multifuel 2 (FM2) Power Station

The site is about 350 m from the project boundary. Generating station, decided. The project page says whether consent was granted. Also within 2 km: Knottingley Power Project (decided, about 1990 m); Ferrybridge Next Generation Power Station (at pre-application, the site is inside its boundary); Ferrybridge Carbon Capture and Storage (at pre-application, about 426 m); East Coast Hydrogen Humber Pipeline (at pre-application, about 888 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.

Planning Inspectorate project page ↗

Also on the record

Scheduled monument about 167 m away: Ferrybridge Henge, a prehistoric enclosure, and two round barrows; Radon affected area, class 2; Coalfield, development low risk area; Inside the Holmfield built-up area.

Not affected

Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt

Checked on 6 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. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England, the Mining Remediation Authority, the Planning Inspectorate, the British Geological Survey and UK Health Security Agency (radon, contains BGS materials © UKRI) and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
