Proceeding contribution from Robert Walter (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 27 July 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Annual Energy Statement.
Annual Energy Statement
I welcome the Secretary of State's statement on the low-carbon economy, particularly his commitment to offshore wind. In the beautiful Blackmore vale in my constituency we face yet another application to erect wind turbines. The only business case is the subsidy paid for those turbines; the wind blows barely 20% of the time. Will the Secretary of State confirm that it will still rest with the local planning authority to judge such applications on planning considerations?
