Company has submitted a scoping report and will use environmental studies and local feedback to shape a scheme of up to eight turbines that could power roughly 45,000–50,000 homes.
Proposal covers up to eight turbines totalling 56MW, at sites near Adlingfleet, Garthorpe, Fockerby and Luddington.
Design choices will be guided by environmental and technical studies covering ecology, ornithology, hydrology, noise, landscape, traffic, aviation and cultural heritage.
If consented, construction is anticipated in the early 2030s and the project could support local jobs, contracts and skills activity.
# What the proposal is
Vattenfall is exploring a 56MW onshore wind farm near Adlingfleet that would sit across the East Riding of Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire. The emerging plan comprises up to eight turbines sited around Adlingfleet, Garthorpe, Fockerby and Luddington. Vattenfall estimates the project could generate enough electricity to supply about 45,000 to 50,000 homes per year.
# Where the project stands now
Public consultation on early design proposals is expected in spring or summer 2027. Planning applications are currently expected to be submitted to both local planning authorities in autumn 2027. If planning permission is obtained, construction is planned to begin in the early 2030s.
# What will shape the design
Vattenfall lists the specific factors that the assessment and design process will consider:
These studies will inform turbine siting, model selection and mitigation measures. The company plans to invite local people to comment once early design work is available.
# Local economic and community aspects
Vattenfall states the project could support local jobs, supplier contracts and spending both during construction and through ongoing operation. The company intends to work with local businesses and communities to identify opportunities for skills development, supply-chain participation and community investment.
The project manager, Robin Stewart, described the scheme as an opportunity to produce homegrown electricity while creating local employment and business opportunities. The statement reiterates that the project is at an early stage and that environmental evidence and local feedback will guide the final design.
# Timeline summary
# What to watch next
Look for the public consultation materials in spring or summer 2027 to see early layouts and mitigation proposals. The EIA scope in the scoping report will indicate what studies are underway and their timelines. Planning submissions in autumn 2027 will be the point at which formal objections, support statements and technical responses can be lodged with the councils.
