Battery Energy Storage System, Barton How part of the facility could look in situ (image: Barton Battery Storage, via Preston City Council planning portal)
Work on a battery storage plant in rural Preston will not be able to start until an emergency response plan has been prepared to deal with the potential impact of the development on the nearby M6.The requirement is one of 19 that Preston City Council has imposed on the scheme, which was approved by the authority’s planning committee in August and will see power generated from green sources like wind and solar being saved for use during periods of high demand.
However, the applicant, Barton Battery Storage, then engaged with roads bosses and produced a fire safety strategy, leading to National Highways withdrawing its objection – subject to the submission of the emergency response plan. The city council – which will have to approve that document – says that the condition is “in the interests of traffic and highway safety”.
Other conditions now set out by the city council include the production of construction traffic management and surface water plans – and a requirement to check the condition of a bridge over the M6 that will be used to access the site, which is to the north of Mount Pleasant Farm. A sustainable drainage plan will also have to be submitted for approval.
