Mitigation of renewable energy effects through design and assessment

Environmental effects may be minimised through appropriate siting, design and landscaping schemes. Proposals should be accompanied by objective descriptive material and analysis, potentially including site restoration details after decommissioning and Environmental Impact Assessment where required.

Some of these effects may be minimised through appropriate siting, design and landscaping schemes, depending on the size and type of development proposed. To assist assessment by the council, proposals should be accompanied by objective descriptive material and analysis wherever possible. This should, where appropriate, include details of site restoration after decommissioning. In some cases, this may form part of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process, where required.
