Seeks information on: the different types of engagement practices being carried out between onshore wind developers and communities, including before planning applications are made and; the various community benefit packages offered across the UK and internationally, outside of the planning system, but including local economic content of windfarm development, support levels for community owned projects, local benefit packages and innovative ways of delivering them. The information gathered will be used to examine how communities can have more of a say over, and receive greater economic and wider social benefits from hosting onshore wind farms.
