Planning evidence pack

What has gone wrong at sites like yours, from the register, in one document for the application. Every incident sourced and linked.

Who it is for

Planning consultants, developers and fire safety consultants preparing a battery storage, solar, wind or substation application, and officers and consultees reviewing one. Fire services, planning committees and residents now ask what has happened at sites like the one proposed. The pack answers that question with the record, not with an opinion.

What is in it

1. A summary in plain figures, ready to quote.
2. Incidents by year, worldwide and in your country.
3. When in the life of a site incidents happen: commissioning, operation, maintenance.
4. What kind, and how serious.
5. The parts of the system the reporting names.
6. Every incident in your country, listed and linked.
7. Incidents whose reporting names your area or planning authority.
8. Incidents at sites of a similar size.
9. The lessons recorded for them.
10. How the pack was made, its limits, and how to cite it.

See an example pack A 50 MW battery project in Lincolnshire, built live from the register.

Why a register, and not a search

1. Sourced. Every entry is written from published reporting and lists its sources on its own page, so a consultee can check any line.
2. The same fields every time. Technology, stage of life, what failed, severity and lessons, so incidents can be counted, not just listed.
3. Independent. No operator, manufacturer or campaign group decides what goes in. Corrections are free for anyone.
4. Current. The pack is built from the register each time it is opened, so the figures are as of the day you read it.
