Policy CS1 is in favour of Sustainable Development and this is supported.

SSE is of the view that wind energy will continue to contribute significantly towards efforts to reduce carbon emissions and help tackle climate change. It is considered that the Local plan should give further focus to wind energy and the benefits it can bring.

Furthermore, an evidence based and site specific approach should be taken to further wind energy developments rather than a reliance on landscape capacity studies. Consideration should be given not just to landscape but also the information contained within an EIA and supporting planning documentation.
