Planning Policy Statement 22 states that local development documents should contain policies designed to promote and encourage, rather than restrict, the development of renewable energy resources. BWEA therefore recommend that policies designed to safeguard the character and setting of listed buildings, conservation areas and greenbelt, for example, have regard to the positive contribution that renewable energy can play in reducing the Council's overall CO2 emissions and in mitigating against the environmentally damaging effects of climate change.
