Historic England ↗
National infrastructure project 895 m away: Progress Power Station
The site is 895 m from the project boundary. Generating station, decided. The project page says whether consent was granted. Also within 2 km: EcoPower Suffolk Solar (at pre-application, 316 m); Suffolk Water Recycling Transfer and Storage (at pre-application, 465 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.
