Recommendation 37
37
Paragraph: 176
Planning system represents a major constraint on low-carbon energy infrastructure delivery
Conclusion
The planning system, nationally and locally within England and also in Scotland and Wales, is a major constraint on the timely delivery of low-carbon energy infrastructure. There are many reasons for this, some of which we do not cover in this report, and we acknowledge the need for effective controls where justified. But we are in no doubt that steps will need to be taken to accelerate the planning process for low-carbon energy infrastructure.
