<p>The Solar PV Roadmap, published in October 2013, sets out our policy on solar PV which should be appropriately sited, give proper weight to environmental considerations such as landscape and visual impact, heritage and local amenity, and provide opportunities for local communities to influence decisions that affect them. I have written to all local planning authorities emphasising the importance DECC attaches to ensuring solar PV is appropriately sited.</p><p>Separately, DECC is also working with industry and the National Solar Centre through the Sustainability and Land Use Task Force, combined with a series of regional roadshows, to generate best practice for developers and ensure that this is widely disseminated.</p> |
