  • 1 Knowledge and Landscape in Wind Energy Planning
    Knowledge and landscape in wind energy planning Maria Lee* ‘Landscape’ is relatively underexplored in legal scholarship,1 notwithstanding its occasional centrality to legal analysis, and the ways in which law contributes to the shaping of landscape.2 Landscape is also intriguing from the perspective of one of the key preoccupations of environmental lawyers, exposing starkly the perennial tension between expert and lay discourses: whilst intuitively open to lay intervention, diverse values, and local experiences of the world, landscape is simultaneously subjected to highly technical, expert-based discourses and assessments. This makes landscape a promising area in which to explore ideas of knowledge in law. Most of the legal literature on ‘knowledge’ focuses on the ways in which different ‘expert’ knowledges find their way into, and then shape, legal processes and decisions. In this paper, I am more concerned with the ways in which the planning system, and planning law, receives different knowledge claims, and accepts some of them as things we ‘know’ about the world for the purposes of reason giving. Although the planning system does not ‘find facts’, planning, like other areas of law, inevitably both shapes and is based on an inextricable combination of facts and values. Wind energy is an especially fruitful area for the exploration of landscape, since wind farms consistently raise concerns about landscape and seascape. In this paper, I explore knowledge claims on landscape within the context of applications for development consent for large wind farms, those which fall within the criteria for a ‘nationally significant infrastructure project’ (NSIP) under the Planning Act 2008.3 My discussion turns around four tentative categories of knowledge claim, categories that are not fixed or easily separated, and are irretrievably mixed with other (non-knowledge) types of claim; even their description as ‘knowledge’ may be contested.

The development proposal comprises a new electricity connection from Brechfa Forest West Wind Farm to an existing overhead line near Llandyfaelog, 10km south of Carmarthen. 1.2 The proposed development is classified as a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP) under the terms of the Planning Act 2008 and the applicant, Western Power Distribution (WPD) has submitted an application for a Development Consent Order (DCO) to construct the connection. 1.3 Carmarthenshire County Council (the Council) are the host authority for this development however the application for the DCO will be processed and examined by the Planning Inspectorate (Pins) who will make a recommendation on whether the DCO should be granted to the Secretary of State (SoS) for Energy and Climate Change. The SoS will make the final decision on the application. Members will recall that the Brechfa Forest West Wind Farm (which this proposal intends to connect) went through the same consenting process. The application was accepted for consideration by the Planning Inspectorate on 24th June 2015. The Examination stage of the process commenced on 7th October 2015 and is due to end on 6th April 2016.
