In September 2023, the government updated national planning policy to provide that LPAs should approve planning applications for an onshore wind farm if:

Will we double onshore wind energy by 2030?

We are therefore committed to doubling onshore wind energy by 2030. That means immediately removing the de facto ban on onshore wind in England, in place since 2015. We are revising planning policy to place onshore wind on the same footing as other energy development in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). 2.

How will SNH support a draft onshore wind policy statement?

Through its ambition that natural assets are managed in a way that generates wealth for all, SNH will support the implementation of the energy strategy, including this draft Onshore Wind Policy Statement.

When did onshore wind farms become a legal requirement?

In 2015, the government introduced requirements so that onshore wind farms could be built only where a proposal was located in a suitable area as set out in the development plan and had the backing of the local community.
