Having been the lead radiographer on the project team which built the MRI department at Weston General Hospital, the number of Health and Safety hoops you have to jump through, a shovel won't break earth before they've dotted all the "i"s and crossed all the "t"s. We even had to redesign the emergency helium vent in case a seagull decided to nest in it.It is difficult to sort the wheat from the chaff, in this case I would say the adjacent residents have concerns that are backed up by the fire service. They need to be fully addressed before construction, its not just that they are batteries, it is an industrial installation that needs to be fully risk assesed by an independant authority.
