It sets out that government is supportive of solar that is “co-located [footnote 80] with other functions (for example, agriculture, onshore wind generation, or storage) to maximise the efficiency of land use”.
Further advice on wind energy and aviation can be found on the Civil Aviation Authority and National Air Control Transport Services websites. Wind turbines can adversely affect a number of Ministry Of Defence operations including radars, seismological recording equipment, communications facilities, naval operations and low flying.
Nowadays it is widely accepted that the active Solar Energy Systems (photovoltaics, solar thermal, solar power) provide significant environmental benefits in comparison to the conventional energy sources, contributing to the sustainability of the human activities.
It is the government’s intention to amend legislation so that all applications for onshore wind energy development are handled by local planning authorities. Microgeneration is often permitted development and may not require an application for planning permission. Paragraph: 002 Reference ID: 5-002-20150618
In the case of wind turbines, a planning application should not be approved unless the proposed development site is an area identified as suitable for wind energy development in a Local or Neighbourhood Plan. There is information in the rest of the guidance on technical considerations, criteria-based policies, buffer zones and decentralised energy.
2.10.10 Solar also has an important role in delivering the government’s goals for greater energy independence. The British Energy Security Strategy [footnote 79] states that government expects a five-fold increase in combined ground and rooftop solar deployment by 2035 (up to 70GW).
