… 55, National Planning Policy Framework, March 2012 2 PURPOSE 2.1 The NPPF (Paragraph 97)3 states: “To help increase the use and supply of renewable and low-carbon energy, local planning authorities should recognise the responsibility on all communities to contribute to energy generation from renewable or low-carbon sources. They should: • have a positive strategy to promote…
… an assessment of whether they are technically accessible will be carried out. Once the appropriate sources have been identified an analysis on potential constraints will follow. The aim will then be to identify potential locations for proposed renewable and low carbon energy generation, informing the preparation of associated Local Plan policies. 3 Para…
… emissions it is outside the scope of this study. • A review of potential from emerging technologies including geothermal energy generation and fuel cells are outside of the capacity of this study. • An assessment of the impact of demand reduction measures (such as energy efficiency or passive solar design) are also outside the scope of the study. 2.6 There are also some renewable and low…
… very little resource in the region and this type of biomass would not support renewable energy generation. • The East of England Renewable and Low Carbon Energy Capacity Study reviewed the use of energy crops within the region and it was found that there is limited availability of energy crops in the area. This was due most likely to the amount of water required for their growth…
… and the East of England being one of the driest regions. Therefore it is considered that there is insufficient resources in the region for this type of biomass to support renewable energy generation. 5 • Wet organic waste (comprising slurry from cattle and pig farms and waste from food and drinks manufacturing) was not identified by the East of England Renewable and Low Carbon Energy…
