Does North Yorkshire approve solar farms?
Yes — of the 105 solar farms North Yorkshire has decided, 96% were approved (101 granted, 4 refused). The UK-wide rate for solar is 93%.
How long does a solar farm application take in North Yorkshire?
The median time from application to decision is 2.7 months, against a UK median of 2.3 months for solar. That is measured between the submission and decision dates recorded in REPD, so it reflects the whole determination period including any extensions.
How much solar capacity has North Yorkshire consented?
898 MW has been consented across 101 approved schemes, with 10 MW refused. A further 26 applications awaits a decision.

Approval rate is over decided applications only (approved ÷ approved+refused); withdrawn and undecided schemes are excluded. A permission later expired still counts as approved because consent was granted. REPD covers schemes of roughly 150 kW and above, is published quarterly, and does not record refusal reasons — so nothing here explains why a scheme was refused. Screening context for site selection, not planning advice.
