PLANNING AND RENEWABLE ENERGY NEWS for the local authority planning community

Welcome

to planningrenewables.org.uk the information website for the local authority planners and councillors dealing with planning applications for renewable energy developments.

This website arose out of the feedback from over 1,000 attendees of an on-going series of workshops on renewable energy for councillors and planning officers that was launched in 2004 as part of the then DTI's, now DECC's, It's Only Natural campaign.

You can read the latest information related to planning and renewable energy, including wind, biomass, waste-to-energy, solar, etc.

Our aim is for this website to be a valuable resource for planners and councillors dealing with planning applications for renewable energy. To this end we strongly welcome feedback from the site's users; please send your views and comments to info@planningrenewables.org.uk.

This site is managed by the Centre for Sustainable Energy on behalf of the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) and is part of the 'It's Only Natural' renewable energy programme.
