Planning Permission
We have lots of experience with planning applications and can help you through the process as part of our service. But below gives you some thougths on the decision process and links to local planning offices. If your local one isn't there please contact us.
Planners are encouraged to be positive towards wind energy projects by the Government. Planning Policy Statement 22 (PPS22) sets out a clear national policy framework on renewable energy for planning authorities in England to ensure that the Government's renewable energy targets are met.
Small wind energy installations require planning permission and local consultation with relevant stakeholders, such as neighbours. Deciding factors include environmental considerations, access to the site, noise and visual effect.
Small scale developments can also be permitted within areas such as National Parks, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Heritage Coasts provided that there is no serious environmental detriment to the area concerned. Living in Green Belt, near a Military Installation or an Airport requires more investigation and consultation with affected parties.
awe Energy will help you with your planning application.
