STATEMENT: We fully understand that there will be many questions from members of the local community regarding Hownsgill Energy Centre, and we very much welcome open and balanced conversation regarding any issues raised. However, we have been made aware of certain comments posted online by individuals which appear to be more abusive and of a threatening nature/tone. This is unacceptable.

Everyone is entitled to have their opinion regarding the plans proposed, both for and against, therefore we ask anyone posting comments on social media, whether individually or as part of forum groups, to do so mindfully and respectfully.

Thank you.

HOWNSGILL ENERGY CENTRE ONLINE COMMUNITY CONSULTATION

Plans to hold a Q&A session with members of the community have been confirmed, with an online discussion due to take place at 18:30 on Wednesday 30 June 2021. This will involve local Conservative Councillors (Delves Lane) Angela Sterling and Michelle Walton, as well as Mark Short (Hownsgill Energy Centre/Project Genesis Ltd), and participating members of the public.

Invitations to participate were offered to other community representatives and active social media opposition groups, and we understand that their questions have instead been forwarded to the Councillor representatives to raise. These will be discussed during the session, available online, with factually-correct information and insight being provided. Questions/answers that may require additional information or other third party expertise/comment will be made available thereafter via the website.

It has always been the intention of Hownsgill Energy Centre and Project Genesis Ltd to hold a public consultation event (originally in person, postponed due to Covid) as part of the overall planning process, and we therefore welcome this open and balanced conversation.

Hownsgill Energy Centre will see Consett at the forefront of low carbon, community-led power generation in the UK, significantly contributing to Durham County Council and UK government's net zero strategies and creating green jobs.

The Environment Agency has ‘no objections’ to plans put forward to develop HEC. After considering all evidence regarding the proposed facility, it stated they ‘have assessed the supporting information’ and can confirm they have ‘no objections to the planning application as submitted'.

FACT CHECK: online discussions regarding Hownsgill Energy Centre and claims that we have stated that The Environment Agency is 'endorsing' the facility are misleading and untrue.

What we have said is that The EA has confirmed that it has ‘no objections’ to plans put forward after considering all evidence regarding the proposed facility. The EA has assessed the supporting information as part of the planning process, and as a result, has stated that it has ‘no objections to the application as submitted.

These are two very different statements and scenarios.

Further to concerns regarding the local area/landscape and how Hownsgill Energy Centre will appear in situ, this is the view from Starbucks Consett (drawn to scale and based on proposed dimensions of the building) providing a very realistic impression of what will be visible from this location.

Hownsgill Energy Centre will be situated on an existing, active industrial estate, next to other operational factories/units - a location earmarked for future development by Durham County Council as a strategic employment site >> http://hownsgillenergycentre.co.uk
