This week, a seven-day public inquiry opens into BSR Energy’s appeal against West Oxfordshire District Council’s refusal of planning permission for the proposed Akeman Solar Park and battery energy storage facility on land south of Ramsden in the Cotswolds.
The inquiry will consider proposals for the large-scale renewable energy development, which attracted significant local interest during the application process.
Joel Semakula is acting for the Rule 6 Party, the Solar Park Action Group, and is instructed by Tito Arowobusoye of Firstplan.
