In January 2012 BT submitted a planning application to East Riding of Yorkshire Council for five wind turbines on land 1.5 km to the north east of Skeffling village and 1.5 km North West of Easington in the East Riding of Yorkshire.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council will notify residents in the immediate vicinity of the proposal, as well as advertising the proposal more widely in the local press. Local residents can view and make comments on the plans, using the reference number at the foot of this page, online and in person at the following locations:

BT’s proposals are part of a range of sustainable energy measures the company is putting in place to secure 25% of its future energy needs from renewable and low carbon sources.
