Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the benefits of the scheme
  • the visual impact of the scheme
  • the impact on landscape character
  • the effect on flood risk
  • the effect on the stock of agricultural land

What decided it

The very significant benefits of the battery energy storage scheme in supporting the transition to net zero and energy security outweighed the limited and mitigated harms to visual amenity, landscape character, heritage assets and agricultural land.

the very substantial benefits of the scheme in supporting net zero and energy security were not outweighed by its individually or cumulatively limited harms, so the appeal was allowed
