A solar photovoltaic (PV) electricity generating facility, with a potential capacity of up to 500MW with a co-located battery storage facility is proposed by Kingsway Solar Ltd. This is due to be determined by the Secretary of State as a DCO following anticipated submission in Spring 2026. 

The proposed development is to be located within South Cambridgeshire to the southeast of Cambridge, between the A11, Balsham and West Wratting within the ward of Balsham. According to details provided by the Applicant, the proposal will cover up to 900 hectares across a number of parcels of land. 

The first stage of non-statutory consultation took place in Autumn 2024, during which the Council formally responded [PDF, 0.2MB].

Officers are actively engaging with the other host authorities—Cambridgeshire County Council and East Cambridgeshire District Council—on this project. Engagement will be facilitated through a Planning Performance Agreement (PPA) and will focus on key issues identified during the previous consultation stages.
