answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/09/2022 answer text <p>The Government has made clear in national planning policy that our planning system should support the transition to a low-carbon future, including supporting renewable and low carbon energy and associated infrastructure. We expect that local planning authorities should approve applications for renewable and low carbon energy generation if the impacts of those developments are or can be made acceptable. There is no absolute presumption against onshore wind energy, but the National Planning Policy Framework expects any proposed wind energy development to be located in an area identified as suitable in the local plan, and to demonstrate it has the backing of the community.</p><p>We announced in the British Energy Security Strategy that we won't introduce wholesale changes to planning regulations for onshore wind at this stage. However, we committed to develop local partnerships that will enable supportive communities to host new onshore wind infrastructure and enjoy the benefits of doing so. These will seek to enable the deployment of onshore wind in England where there is clear community consent. The detail of these partnerships will be set out in a consultation later this year.</p> answering member constituency North East Derbyshire answering member printed Lee Rowley question first answered 23/09/2022 08:14:21 answering member 4652 label Biography information for Lee Rowley
