Residents object to a proposed battery power storage facility in the centre of Minsterley.

Transcript

00:00 Hi I'm Mike Davis, local resident in Minsterley and I live about 50 yards over the other side of

00:06 this field. This is the paddock where they've applied for planning permission to erect a

00:11 battery electric storage station. We do need these storage stations but the problem with this

00:18 particular one is this is a level 3b flood zone and it's within 100 meters, well it's within

00:26 50 meters of my house, my daughter's house and within 100 meters of about a dozen houses

00:32 just here. So my argument is a level 3b flood zone is not the best place to put a battery electric

00:40 storage station. Access is limited and these stations are not without risk. It causes all

00:51 sorts of problems for the fire service if there are any problems. They take days not hours

00:57 to extinguish. They're not yet subject to regulation and the regulations have still

01:02 got to catch up with the technology and I just think a level b flood zone and all this housing

01:10 it's too close. These things should be on industrial land or agricultural land

01:15 away from residential development.
