Written Question
Wind Power: Planning Permission
Thursday 25th June 2015

Asked by: Lord Wilson of Sedgefield (Labour - Life peer)

Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of granting local communities the right to veto wind farm applications.

Answered by Lord Wharton of Yarm

The Conservative election manifesto committed to give local people the final say on onshore wind farm applications. The new considerations to be applied to proposed wind energy development were set out in the Written Statement of 18 June, HCWS 42. Onshore wind turbines should only get the go-ahead when and where local people have said they want them.
