One Planet Developments Limited has been granted planning permission for a 25MW solar farm near Burnham-on-Crouch, Essex. The project was approved by Maldon District Council at the District Planning Committee meeting on Wednesday 3rd September 2025.
The project was supported by the local parish council and recommended for approval by the Planning Officer. There were no objections to the planning application from members of the public or from any Statutory Consultees. The project can connect to the UK Power Networks grid in 2027 subject to National Energy System Operator’s Connections Reform process.
One Planet now has planning consent for 130MW of solar across three sites with a further 223MW in planning and development. One Planet also has a further three consented Battery Energy Storage sites totalling 500MW.
In 2023 One Planet sold two battery sites of 90MW to Pulse Clean Energy and earlier in 2025 sold an 8.6MW solar farm development site to Shawton Energy.
Commenting on the announcement to The Voice of Renewables James Stoney of One Planet said: “It’s great to have secured yet another planning consent to add to our growing portfolio of consented sites across the UK. We look forward to working with investors to get the sites financed and constructed as soon as possible”.
