Renewable Energy Proposals

The Government is promoting a more favourable planning climate for renewable energy proposals.

It is urging planners to "promote and encourage, rather than restrict" renewable energy schemes. These include proposals to generate energy from natural sources such as wind, water and the sun.

More information can be found in the Government's Planning Policy Statement No.22. A link to this can be found on the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG)  web site.
