Public exhibition - April 25

Since our public exhibition in January where we presented our preliminary plans for the project, we have been refining and improving the preliminary design, which would continue to sit sensitively within the existing landscape whilst maximising the battery energy storage potential.

We are now bringing forward a revised scheme and recently a public exhibition in the local area to enable people to find out more and provide us with their views.

All information provided at the public exhibition is available to view below.
