    Consultation description

    The aim of this review is to ensure that strategic planning policy on renewable & low carbon energy development remains fit for purpose and up-to-date to inform decision-making in relation to development proposals for this subject area. It is also intended to inform the local development plan (LDP) process and enable plan-makers to bring forward appropriate local policies, all within the wider contemporary context for energy and the climate emergency.

    The Department has circulated an Issues Paper to a range of key stakeholders for comment. The responses received will help inform the way forward for this policy area and it is the Department’s intention to issue a draft revised policy document for full public consultation in 2022.

    While this exercise is targeted at specific identified stakeholders, anyone is free to submit their views in response to the Issues paper.
