Respondent: On behalf of SSE Generation Development Ltd

SSE requests that a clearer policy relating to the wind energy development - including re-powering and extension - is established in the Local Plan and requests that changes are made to better support future investment in renewable wind energy developments. This can be achieved by:
- Specific reference to support for re-powering existing windfarm locations;
- Identifying existing windfarm locations in the Core Strategy;
- Including reference to the acceptance of windfarm developments; and
- The provision for and policy support for offshore grid connection, including grid cabling, associated substations and ancillary equipment.
