Draft revised policy consultation document for strategic planning policy on renewable and low carbon energy open for comment.

The Department for Infrastructure (DfI) has published a draft revised policy consultation document for strategic planning policy on renewable and low carbon energy.

The aim of the review is to ensure that regional strategic planning policy on renewable and low carbon energy remains fit for purpose and up-to-date to inform decision-making in relation to development proposals for this subject area. It is also intended to inform the local development plan (LDP) process and enable plan-makers to bring forward appropriate local policies, all within the wider contemporary context for energy and the climate emergency.
