Energy storage facility approved after appeal

PERMISSION has been granted on appeal for a £45 million renewable energy storage facility.

North West Leicestershire District Council refused permission for the site on the banks of the River Soar at Kegworth in August.

Councillors argued the scheme would pose flood and fire risks and criticised it for the impact it would have on views and the environment.

Officers had recommended the scheme be approved.
