Item5Appendix5NSGRenewableEnergy
This document contains non-statutory guidance that supports the Cairngorms National Park Local Development Plan 2020. It applies to planning applications within the Cairngorms National Park (National Park) that include renewable energy systems, focusing on those needing planning permission, not those covered by permitted development rights. The guidance outlines considerations for various renewable energy proposals like hydro-electricity, wind energy, biomass, solar power, and heat pumps, emphasizing the need to avoid or minimise negative impacts on the landscape, natural heritage, and communities of the National Park. It offers advice on the types of assessments required for different renewable energy systems and provides links to further information from NatureScot and the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA).
