Welcome

Welcome to the Planning Renewables website.

This site is currently being updated. When the changes are finished we hope to continue to provide useful and up-to-date information to aid local authorities and community groups dealing with planning applications for renewable energy developments.

Covering all renewable technologies (wind, biomass, energy from waste, solar, hydro, and ground, air and water-source heat pumps), the website is a valuable resource for the planning community.

If you have any enquiries or suggestions about the site, or you wish to notify us about a broken link, please let us know by visiting our contact page.
