A study to assess the local potential for renewable or low carbon energy generation in the District.
Climate change poses many challenges for the District which need to be addressed in our Local Development Framework (LDF). As part of our evidence bases for the LDF we require a sound assessment of the local potential for renewable or low carbon energy generation in the District and the opportunities for carbon footprint reduction through the LDF strategy.
We commissioned the consultants AECOM to undertake such a study in March 2010. The study was prepared during Spring and Summer 2010, during which time a Stakeholder Workshop was held. The study was completed in Autumn 2010 and can be viewed below. The outcomes from this study will be reflected in the emerging Core Strategy and possibly subsequent Local Development Documents.
