Guidance documents are now available on the Council’s website to help anyone wanting to submit a planning application for a renewable energy scheme.
Covering a range of technologies including wind, solar, hydro and heat pumps, the documents give design and preparation advice as well as explain the level of information normally required to support a planning application.
The guidance documents have been prepared in response to a surge in interest in all forms of renewable energy development throughout Cornwall.
The full range of planning guidance documents can be viewed at www.cornwall.gov.uk/renewableenergy The production of the guidance has been funded through the Leadership for Energy Action and Planning (LEAP) project, a European project aimed at sharing expertise among partners to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions and increase the use of renewable energy.
