Environmental reports and mitigation for renewable energy

Renewable energy proposals may require environmental reports or technical assessments to demonstrate no adverse environmental effects, and suitable mitigation measures may need to be agreed and implemented.

Environmental reports or technical assessments may be required to support planning proposals to demonstrate that there will be no adverse effects, such as air and water pollution, damage to public health, wildlife and habitat loss, water use, land use, and global warming emissions. Suitable mitigation measures may need to be agreed and implemented to ensure there are no adverse environmental effects or significant impacts on environmental quality.
