Residents raise alarms over noise, light pollution, fire risks, and road safety—even skeptics with battery tech experience question its necessity amid grid capacity concerns and environmental threats like ancient trees and flood zones. Developers tout the project’s role in stabilizing the grid and meeting renewable targets, with council planners endorsing it despite visual impacts.
