PLANS for a solar power generation station on a former landfill site close to South Ockendon have been put in limbo because of the impact of a revised route for the proposed Lower Thames Crossing through Thurrock.

Planning consent was granted to REG Solarpower Ltd and Veolia ES by Thurrock Council ) for the building of the solar development at Ockenden Landfill Site close to Mollands Lane, Buckles Lane and Medebridge Road in January 2016.

The plans were further revised in 2018 to increase the site's operating life from 27 to 40 years and preparatory construction works commenced in January last year. However, no solar arrays or associated generating infrastructure have been installed on site to date.

The company says this is because of continued uncertainty over the detailed alignment and land take of the proposed crossing route where it would pass through the area of the consented solar farm.

So a revised plan has been put to the council to develop part of the site and the company will wait and see what happens with the crossing route before building out the rest of the site.

Full details can be found here.

ANOTHER major building looks set to go up on the rapidly expanding London Gateway Logistics Park close to Stanford-le-Hope.

A planning application has been submitted to build a warehouse and ancillary office accommodation with parking, loading and turning areas including a gatehouse on the park.

Limited details about the application have been submitted, but what information there is can be found here.

Other planning applications submitted to Thurrock Council in the past week include:
