HC Deb 19 December 2003 vol 416 c99W
Mr. Hancock

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make it his policy to include wind turbines in the site development plans for Portsdown West and Porton Down; and if he will make a statement. [142198]

Mr. Caplin

The site development for Portsdown West and Porton Down will provide the opportunity to improve the energy efficiency of its built environment and therefore the planning will consider the use of renewable energy sources, including wind turbines.

All development plans will be subject to statutory consultations and the approval of relevant stakeholders, including the local planning authority.
