Barnsley Council Approves Temporary Base for Energy Storage Facility Construction
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.

Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council has issued a certificate of lawful development for agricultural land off Tofts Lane to be used as a temporary compound during the construction of an energy storage facility near Hunshelf Substation. The compound will include portable cabins, parking for construction workers, and storage for equipment, supporting the two-year construction project that has already received planning permission. The land must be restored to its original condition after construction, and the approval is compliant with permitted development rules, eliminating the need for a full planning application.
