Council advised to oppose Eccles battery storage scheme

The council’s landscape architect has raised concerns about the project, saying it is in conflict with the rural character of the surrounding landscape.

A report to councillors has concluded that it “does not respect the character” of the area and the bunds being proposed to screen it would “introduce an incongruous landscape feature”.

The local planning committee is being advised to object to the project due its unacceptable visual impact and its cumulative effect alongside other developments.

The council’s chief planning officer said the adverse impacts would not be outweighed by the contribution towards renewable energy generation and greenhouse gas reduction.

Scottish Borders Council is a consultee on the project but its fate will ultimately be decided by the Scottish government.
