Planning & Policy issues

Common Planning concerns Although most people are in favour of developing more renewable energy in the UK, on certain occasions, local development has proved controversial.

As well as a more supportive national energy policy and planning policy framework, changes need to be made at the local level with improved local planning requirements. Financial incentives also need altering, to recognise community benefits.
