Planning Application
In June 2024, RES submitted a planning application for the Stoneworthy Energy Storage project on land south of Pyworthy substation, approximately 1.3km southwest of Pyworthy village.
Following Torridge District Council’s refusal of the planning application in September 2024, RES lodged an appeal.
In July 2025, the Planning Inspectorate allowed the appeal and planning permission has been granted for the project.
Further information will be provided on this website as the project progresses.
Electronic copies of the planning application and accompanying documents can be viewed or downloaded by clicking on the links below.
The planning application may also be viewed on Torridge District Council website at https://publicaccess.torridge.gov.uk/online-applications/. The planning reference number is 1/0514/2024/FULM.
