Call For Information: Rural Communities & Large Energy Projects

Cllr James Cantwell (Five Villages Ward, Boston Borough Council) is keen to hear from elected members in rural areas who have dealt with multiple or large energy project applications – particularly Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).

Cllr Cantwell is interested in how local authorities approached these applications at the planning stage, and what mitigation measures were introduced to manage risks for local communities.

If you have relevant experience or examples to share, please contact Cllr Cantwell directly at [email protected].
