HC Deb 26 January 2004 vol 417 c94W
Mr. Djanogly

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if she will publish a list of pending applications for windfarm developments in Cambridgeshire, giving their(a) location and (b) proposed output in KW hours. [149677]

Mr. Timms

Proposals to construct and operate generating stations with a capacity greater than 50 megawatts (MW) require my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State's consent under section 36 of the Electricity Act 1989.

There are no applications for her consent to construct windfarms in Cambridgeshire.

Central Government does not hold records of proposals for on-shore windfarms below 50MW as these fall to be determined by the local planning authority under the normal planning regime.
