RPC Supports Planning Success for Church Road Battery Energy Storage Project

RPC is pleased to have supported the successful planning consent for the Church Road Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), approved by East Cambridgeshire District Council. The consented 400 MW scheme represents a significant addition to the UK’s future energy infrastructure.

Church Road Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project

Supporting the UK’s Energy Future

The consented 400 MW scheme represents an important addition to the UK's future energy infrastructure, helping to enable a more flexible electricity network capable of supporting increasing levels of renewable generation.

Working alongside the project team, RPC delivered a comprehensive package of planning and environmental services throughout the application. This included planning, ecology, landscape and heritage expertise, together with an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), Landscape Ecological Management Plan (LEMP), Planting Plan, and Archaeological Assessment and Heritage Impact Statement.

Key Project Point

The consented 400 MW scheme represents an important addition to the UK's future energy infrastructure, helping to enable a more flexible electricity network capable of supporting increasing levels of renewable generation.

RPC’s Role

  • Planning application and coordination
  • Ecology, landscape and heritage expertise
  • Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)
  • Landscape Ecological Management Plan (LEMP) and Planting Plan
  • Archaeological Assessment and Heritage Impact Statement

By carefully addressing environmental and planning considerations from the outset, the team successfully navigated a range of site-specific constraints while supporting a development that will deliver significant biodiversity enhancements alongside critical energy infrastructure.

RPC is proud to have played a key role in obtaining this positive outcome and looks forward to continuing to support the project through the post-consent phase.
