  • Renewable & Low Carbon Energy Study
    Renewable and Low Carbon Energy Study Maslen Environmental Addendum Pendle Borough Council: January 2011 Following Pendle Council’s six-week public consultation1 on the findings of the Renewable and Low Carbon Energy Study (Maslen, 2010) the following comments should be noted when reading the study: Section 2.1.1 National Policy and European Context (Page 3) The planning Inspectorate will assume the role of the Infrastructure Planning Commission, following changes introduced in the Decentralisation and Localism Bill, 2010. Section 2.1.3 Local Policy Context (Page 10) In addition to Policy 19, the emerging Rossendale Core Strategy also includes Policy 20: Wind Energy, which sets out the criteria against which wind energy proposals will be assessed. Section 4.1.2 General Constraints (Page 21) The list under ‘Cultural Sensitivies’ should include a reference to ‘Historic Parks and Gardens’. Section 4.1.3 Considering Suitable Locations (Page 22) It should be noted that national policy on heritage assets is set out in Planning Policy Statement 5: Planning for the Historic Environment (PPS5) (Communities & Local Government, March 2010). Section 4.1.3 Considering Suitable Locations – Local Designations (Page 23) Consideration should also be given to ‘non designated heritage assets’ i.e. locally important, but not nationally designated, heritage resources. In some instances satisfactory mitigation of the impact of a proposal, on an environmental or cultural designation, may not be possible. In such cases an application may be refused. Section 4.2.3 Landscape – Wind Energy (Page 31) The Lancashire County Council Landscape Character Assessment has been informed by the historic landscape assessment of Lancashire carried out by the County Archaeology Service, which commenced in January 1999.
