All onshore wind turbines, except for small-scale domestic turbines, require planning permission from the local planning authority (LPA) in England. In September 2023, the government updated national planning policy to provide that LPAs should approve planning applications for an onshore wind farm if:
We are therefore committed to doubling onshore wind energy by 2030. That means immediately removing the de facto ban on onshore wind in England, in place since 2015. We are revising planning policy to place onshore wind on the same footing as other energy development in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). 2.
In 2015, the government introduced requirements so that onshore wind farms could be built only where a proposal was located in a suitable area as set out in the development plan and had the backing of the local community. It also changed the law in 2016 to require decisions on all onshore wind farms, regardless of their size, to be made by LPAs.
We are revising planning policy to place onshore wind on the same footing as other energy development in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). 2. Currently, planning policy includes two tests, set out in footnotes 57 and 58 to paragraph 163 of the NPPF, that apply only to onshore wind.
Electricity generation from wind power in the UK increased by 715% between 2009 and 2020, producing 75,610 gigawatt hours (GWh) in 2020. Most of this is from offshore wind farms with some contribution from onshore, though the latter has suffered from a lack of government support through the planning system in recent years.
There is 5GW of onshore wind currently awaiting planning approval, which could be fast-tracked to lower electricity bills this winter. How cheap is it? • Onshore wind is one of the lowest-cost, scalable electricity generation technologies in the UK.
