New Response to the DECC consultation on Energy NPSs
The Campaign to Protect Rural England recognises the urgent need for low carbon energy infrastructure and the challenge climate change poses, but we believe that the proposed energy NPSs need substantial revision before they are designated. Our concerns focus on the establishment of unlimited national need for energy infrastructure which threatens to create a presumption in favour of energy development; the curtailment of consideration of reasonable alternatives; clarification on the role and impact of Local Impact Reports; and the need to adopt a more spatially-literate approach to development.
