Anticipated Timeline
- April – June 2025
Non-statutory Consultation
Last year we held our non-statutory consultation to gather views from the local community and stakeholders on early our proposals.
- April 2026- June 2026
Statutory Consultation
After considering feedback received during the non-statutory consultation and completing further technical assessments, we are presenting our updated proposals to the local community and stakeholders through a period of statutory consultation.
- November 2026
Application Submission
Following the statutory consultation and careful review of feedback, we will finalise our proposals and submit a Development Consent Order (DCO) application.
- December 2026
Acceptance
The acceptance stage begins when an application is submitted to the Planning Inspectorate, who then has 28 days to determine if it meets the required standards for examination.
- Early 2027
Pre-examination
Once our application is accepted, any person or authority can register as an Interested Party and submit written representations to the Planning Inspectorate. An independent panel, known as the Examining Authority, will be appointed to conduct the examination. All Interested Parties will be invited to a Preliminary Meeting.
- Spring/Summer 2027
Examination
The Examining Authority will examine the application, and all representations received from Interested Parties. Hearings will be held where members of the public are welcome to attend.

Following the examination, the Examining Authority will prepare a report, including a recommendation, to be submitted to the Secretary of State.

Decision
The Secretary of State will make a decision on whether to grant or refuse development consent.

If Development Consent is granted, we plan to begin construction of Calderdale Energy Park as soon as practicable following approval.
