Lime Down Solar Targeted Consultation June 2025

Lime Down are currently holding a stage of targeted consultation on a series of localised changes they are proposing for their plans for Lime Down Solar Park. This stage of targeted consultation will run from Tuesday 03 June to Friday 11 July 2025.

This consultation is considered targeted because it focuses on the fifteen specific changes which have resulted in small increases to the development boundary area compared to the boundary presented in the Preliminary Environmental Report (PEIR) for Stage Two Consultation. It is not another phase of statutory consultation pursuant to Section 47 and Section 48 of the Planning Act 2008.

For more information on the changes they are consulting on, and how to provide feedback to this stage of targeted consultation, please visit their Targeted Consultation webpage https://www.limedownsolar.co.uk/targeted-consultation-june-2025 There are also documents on display at Melksham Library.

Please note that amongst the changes proposed are Westlands Lane, Box Fiveways and near Whitehall Garden Centre.

Melksham Without Parish Council will be considering a response to the consultation at their next Planning Committee meeting on Monday 30th June.

Lime Down are running an online information event on Thursday 19 June 2025, from 18:30 to 20:00 (via Zoom), where you can meet the Project team and find out more about the localised changes being proposed.
