The Wiltshire battery storage facility will be debated at the meeting

This includes the installation of Europe’s largest battery storage and approved plans for the Minety Solar Farm, which will generate enough renewable energy for 15,000 homes.

In February, proposals for battery storage facilities near Ravensbrook Farm and Somerford Farm were refused after residents attended the planning meeting to campaign against it.

Wiltshire Council’s case officer for the application recommended councilors approve the scheme.

Councilman Chuck Berry, who represents the division, asked that the application be reviewed in terms of the scale of the development and the impact on adjacent properties.

He called for the “cumulative impact” of surrounding proposals to be considered by the committee.

Wiltshire Council’s North Planning Committee will debate the plans at its next meeting on May 22.
