Renewable Energy Study

Renewable Energy Study

To inform the Local Plan Review, a Renewable Energy Study has been undertaken.

This study assesses submitted potential sites for renewable energy, reports on engagement with stakeholders and reviews potential Local Plan policy approaches to support appropriate community and small-scale energy proposals within the South Downs National Park. 

It has informed the proposed wording of policy SD51, and the four best performing sites are identified in this policy as having potential for allocation, subject to further work on their landscape and heritage impacts.
