RenewableUK onshore wind NPPF consultation response

2 March 2023 - RenewableUK report

RenewableUK has responded to the Government’s consultation on how to reform the planning system to bring back onshore wind in England by pointing out that the new  proposals by Ministers do almost nothing to remove the current de facto ban.

In RenewableUK’s submission to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities on its Levelling Up and Regenerations Bill which includes amendments to the National Planning Policy Framework, we state that: “we are highly concerned that the Government is not doing enough to remove the barriers preventing onshore wind from being rapidly deployed and it is our view that the amendments proposed to the National Planning Policy Framework will not enable the deployment of onshore wind in England”.
