Throughout construction and operation of the proposed BESS on land at Barnsdale Road, just south of Kippax, BSR Energy is committed to ensuring that the impact to the local road network, and the local community is kept to a minimum.

Construction is expected to take 12 months. 

Due to the rural location of the site, it is expected to that there will be minimal noise disruption to the wider area surrounding the site throughout construction, although we appreciate some of our closest neighbours are likely to have specific concerns relating to the construction noise and impact. We would encourage these neighbours to get in touch with the project team with regard to these specific concerns. Details on how to get in touch can be found here.  

Once the site is operational, it is anticipated that there will only be low levels of traffic accessing the site for maintenance purposes. It is therefore expected that the largest volume of traffic will be associated with the construction phase of the project.

We anticipate receiving a planning decision around August 2025. We would expect to begin construction in November 2026 if the proposal is approved.
