Thank you for your consultation regarding the above development. The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) welcomes the opportunity to comment on your proposals at this stage of the project. Please note that we request views from the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID) and the response provided is sent on behalf of both UKHSA and OHID. We can confirm that: The battery energy storage system fire risk assessment has not used UK Air Quality Standards to consider potential impacts from a fire on site. We recommended at the Section 42 stage (21st July 2022) that health protective standards from the UK were considered in their assessment. This does not appear to have been addressed in the application. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
