Paragraph 7 Battery safety management

Work No. 2 and the applicable parts of Work No. 5(g) for access to the BESS and substation compounds must not commence until a battery safety management plan has been submitted to and approved by the relevant planning authority for that part, such approval to be in consultation with the relevant district authority for that part.

The battery safety management plan must be substantially in accordance with the outline battery safety management plan and demonstrate that all required access to the BESS and substation compounds is achievable and safe during the design flood event (as defined in the flood risk assessment and outline drainage strategy).

The relevant planning authority must consult with the Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue Service, the Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service and the Environment Agency before determining an application for approval of the battery safety management plan.

The battery safety management plan must be implemented as approved and maintained throughout the operation of the relevant part of the authorised development to which the plan relates.
