Proceeding contribution from Chris Huhne (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 December 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Electricity Market Reform.
Electricity Market Reform
The hon. Gentleman is right. Some issues can be tackled at national level; one planning issue on onshore wind surrounds aviation impacts and radar, and we should obviously lead that at national level. But I refer him to the answer that I gave previously: local people should be able to determine local planning and, therefore, local impact. If they are on board, and if they are brought into the proposals, renewable projects go ahead. That is our experience throughout the UK, and that will be the right way forward in getting planning approval for renewable projects.
