| Aims and Objectives | The South Lanarkshire Local Plan Renewable Energy policies set out the Council's land use planning requirements for the location of renewable energy developments such as windfarms. The policies' objectives are to: -To enable renewable energy developments to take place in sustainable locations thus contributing to government energy targets - To protect environmental resources and communities from adverse impact of renewable energy developments NB The renewable energy policy is being reviewed and will be published as Supplementary Planning Guidance. This will be subject to a separate EIA. |
| Conclusion | The conclusion of this initial impact assessment is that there are no adverse impacts on any part of the community covered by equalities legislation, or on community relations. This is due to the nature of the Renewable Energy policies which identify the land use planning requirements in relation to the provision of new developments. Detailed design requirements for new developments are addressed in other policies within the Local Plan. Consultation on all Local Plan policies was undertaken in accordance with the requirements of the Town and Country Planning legislation |
