Stop the Battery Storage Facility in Ballyshannon.

Don't allow planning to go ahead for this development in our rural town. It is a potential fire and environmental hazard to the local residents.

Why is this important?

There is a planning application in for a Battery Energy Storage System on the belleek road. It's quite a large industrial operation that would potentially be the equvilant of up to 2 football pitches in size(not including the extra 2 proposed buildings one of which is upto 40ft high) It's proposed to house lithium ion batteries to store energy for the grid from the wind turbines. Seems like a great idea to some but with the potential to be a fire hazard and possibility of releasing toxic fumes/gases if an incident were to occur. In close proximity to houses and the town it is a cause to concern for others.
There is quite alot of information on the planning application including proposed views of this "Energy Park" from different areas.
We would be grateful if you could take a look if interested and sign your support in objection to this project. The deadline for personal submissions to the planning authority is 27th March.

Plans and photos will be available to view at Kilbarron house on Saturday 16th March and Saturday 23rd March 4-7.30.
Feel free to drop in and have a look share your views etc
