Abstract
Provides an evidence base to inform a revised planning policy framework for onshore wind development in and around the Strategic Search Areas (SSA) in Wales. The research: monitors current progress towards the Technical Advice Note (TAN) 8 onshore wind targets set in 2005; locates the remaining areas of land suitable for onshore wind farm development within (and 5km adjacent to) each Strategic Search Area (SSA); defines the resource potential of the remaining areas of land for electricity generation; introduces a well-structured timeline to develop the SSAs to full capacity, taking into account existing wind farm developments, those in planning and the impact of grid connection.
