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.
