Abstract

Offers a methodology which enables local authorities to develop a robust evidence base to assess potential renewable and low carbon energy generation in support of the local development plan. Can also aid in: discussions with developers about opportunities for district heating and waste heat; identifying the potential of new energy generation schemes in supplying new or existing developments; and in the case of wind power, assisting officers in the merits of particular applications.
