Having read most of the docs the conclusion seems complete for the green light.
================================================
CONCLUSION
9.1 The proposed development has the potential to play a role in addressing supply and
demand peaks and troughs within the electricity transmission network by virtue of
storing excess energy produced by generating stations, including from renewable
sources. In that way, the proposal is considered to contribute to national climate
change and carbon net-zero targets. It is a technology that has strong support within
National Planning Framework 4 Policy 11 Energy. Following the submission of
additional information and amendments made to the proposal, including securing:
further landscape mitigation, appropriate access arrangements, and fire risk
mitigation it is considered that the proposed development is acceptable and will not
be significantly detrimental overall. Although industrial in appearance, the proposal
would be well sited, set back from the roadside and residential properties. In time it
would also be relatively well screened, with the landscape and visual impact of the
development being suitably mitigated.
===============================================
My take on that lengthy doc is that this should now be a formality based on the improvements that have been submitted on the 15th of August.
The 9 updates that were submitted on 15th I would hope completely address all issues raised by local residents.
Not sure how long this will take but this is nearly over the line now.
The fact that Mey BESS links nicely with MeyGen is excellent as another cash cow for SAE.
