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.
