UKHSA Letter about Local BESS Application

The letter from the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has been published about the BESS planning application in Navenby. 

This letter echoes many of the real concerns local constituents and I have raised about BESS sites. 

While this letter is regarding the application at Navenby, which will be determined by NKDC, I know that many of these concerns are shared amongst the community about other BESS sites and the infrastructure needed for large-scale solar farm applications locally. 

I will be raising this issue in Parliament at the earliest opportunity. The Government must recognise the real health and safety concerns associated with large-scale solar and BESS sites.
