Summary
This application asks the council to approve the details of external lighting at the Thurrock Flexible Generation Plant on Station Road, East Tilbury. The plant already has planning permission — this is about signing off a specific condition attached to that permission. The site sits in an area at high risk of flooding and within the green belt. It is also in one of the most deprived parts of England. There are around ten businesses registered at this postcode, including vehicle repair and freight companies. Approving this condition means the lighting plan has been reviewed and agreed, which could affect nearby properties and the surrounding open land.
What you can do
You can comment on this application by contacting Thurrock Council and quoting reference 26/00211/DCOAPP. The council will only consider comments about the lighting details — not the power plant itself, which already has consent. Comments must be submitted before the council makes its decision.
