The Renewable Energy Supplementary Planning Guidance incorporates the Ironside Farrar “Update of Wind Energy Landscape Capacity and Cumulative Impact Study” (November 2016).
The Renewable Energy Supplementary Planning Guidance was originally approved in 2018 as Supplementary Guidance (SG) to support our previous – now superseded - Local Development Plan (our Local Development Plan 2016). Following the adoption on 22 August 2024 of the current Local Development Plan (our Local Development Plan 2024), it has now become Supplementary Planning Guidance. Accordingly, it now no longer has development plan status.
The Renewable Energy Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG) may be used to assist in the assessment of renewable energy proposals. However, since the national policy context within which the SG, now SPG, was originally prepared has now been superseded, some aspects of the guidance will no longer be applicable. These documents will be of less relevance on matters where there are inconsistencies with National Planning Framework 4 and the adopted Local Development Plan.
