Proposed gas-fired power station and battery storage
near Hutton sub-station
Please see the attached notice about a very important open meeting to discuss the major industrial development proposed at a field next to Hutton Substation. Old Hutton & Holmescales and New Hutton Parish Councils would like as many people to attend as possible so that they can measure the opinions of local residents.
The documents for the proposed power station and battery storage plant in Old Hutton have been placed on the SLDC website. To see them use the following steps:

The following meetings have been arranged:
On Tuesday 16th May there was a meeting of the steering group at Old Hutton Public Hall. Its aim is to prepare for the open meeting and the meeting of SLDC Planning Committee. The steering group meeting is for those who would like to take an active part in opposing the applications. This could be by doing research, preparing a leaflet, delivering information to houses, or helping in many other ways. The important theme of sending comments to SLDC will be discussed in detail at the open meeting on the 24th May.
At 7.30pm on Wednesday 24th May there will be an open meeting at Old Hutton Public Hall for all residents of Old Hutton and New Hutton parishes. The aim of it will be to summarise the main points in the planning applications and the effects of the developments on the parishes.
From 5pm to 8pm on Tuesday 6th June Statera, the development company, will hold an exhibition and presentation at New Hutton Institute. The time when the presentation is to start is not yet known. The company will advertise the event.
From 5pm to 8pm on Wednesday 7th June, Statera will hold a similar event at Old Hutton Public Hall.
The date by which comments about the planning applications must be sent to SLDC is not yet known. It is assumed that it will be around Friday 9th June so time is pressing. When the deadline is known for certain it will be sent out.
