Recommendation
Energy planning is too important to hope that local planners have the capacity and knowledge to deliver to national targets. The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero must ensure stronger coordination between NESO high-level spatial planning strategies and local energy planning to ensure alignment between objectives. The government should allocate greater funding for dedicated roles within local authorities. (Recommendation, Paragraph 66)
