Planning committee
Decided by Newark and Sherwood Planning Committee on 2 Jul 2026.
Refused unanimously
Against officer advice: officers had recommended approval.
- Officers advised approval because the small battery project supported low-carbon energy and was not considered harmful to the area, homes, highways or ecology.
- Objectors and members raised concerns about visual impact, lost green space, noise and fire safety near homes, roads and a supermarket.
- The committee unanimously refused permission against officers’ advice, citing visual impact and safety.
