Renewable energy in designated areas

Renewable energy development in areas designated for landscape quality, nature conservation or scientific interest must demonstrate no significant detrimental impact, with careful consideration of scale, operational timeframe, ancillary development, and site restoration.

Any renewable energy development proposals, including ancillary development, in areas designated of importance for landscape quality, nature conservation or scientific interest will be required to demonstrate that the development will not have a significant detrimental impact on the local or wider environment. Careful consideration will also be given to the nature and scale of proposals, the proposed operational timeframe, ancillary development requirements and site restoration/aftercare.
