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. -

Transport and Infrastructure Service Plan 2018-2022 2019/20 Update
Version 3.4 Transport and infrastructure Service Plan 2018-2022 2019/20 update May 2019 22/05/2019 Service Plan 2018-2022 (2019 update) Version 3.4 P a g e | 2 Introduction by Nigel Blackler Interim Service Director for Transport and Infrastructure The Transport and Infrastructure Service brings together key elements of the Council and works together with partners to help improve the daily lives of the people who live, work and visit Cornwall. This includes making sure communities are connected by reliable, public transport links, to ensure people can access work, health and leisure opportunities. We make sure the road network keeps moving and responds quickly and appropriately to emergency events which threaten this, such as flooding. We work closely with partners in the Rail industry and Highways England to ensure the national rail and road network is fit for purpose for Cornwall’s communities. We also look for opportunities for innovative and efficient improvements to our transport in Cornwall while maintaining links with the rest of the UK. Our service plays an essential role in delivering Cornwall Council’s business plan objectives of: Healthy Cornwall – Encouraging healthy active lifestyles through the provision of walking, cycling and public transport infrastructure is a key focus of the service. The delivery of improved infrastructure connecting key destinations alongside promotion of the health benefits of active travel look to contribute to local and national health targets, improve air quality and the quality of life for Cornwall’s residents and visitors. Homes for Cornwall – Facilitating sustainable housing growth through the delivery of town based Transport Strategies which are underpinned by the principals of Connecting Cornwall: 2030. -

We will be close to delivering the targets we have set for 2032 for energy efficiency, low carbon heat and transport. Our electricity and gas networks will be fundamental to this progress across Scotland and there will be new ways of designing, operating and regulating them to ensure that they are used efficiently. The policy context The energy transition must also be inclusive – all parts of society should be able to benefit. The Scotland’s Energy Strategy sets out a vision options we identify must make sense no matter for the energy system in Scotland until 2050 – what pathways to decarbonisation might targeting a sustainable and low carbon energy emerge as the best. Improving the efficiency of system that works for all consumers.
