ENERGY STORAGEPOWER GRIDS & TRANSMISSION
Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council has granted a certificate allowing agricultural land near Snowden Hill to be used as a temporary construction base for an energy storage facility adjacent to Hunshelf Substation. The approved site will support construction activities for approximately two years and includes provisions for offices, parking, storage, and security. The land must revert to its original state post-construction, and the approval falls under permitted development rules, negating the need for a full planning application.
