Rejected petition Local communities to decide on windfarm development

More details

This replaces previous petition text that had a significant error.

As part of the drive for localism and Big Society, local communities should be able to vote on any windfarm developments proposed for their area. Planning authorities must take into account the results of the vote, and involve the local community at all stages. No large scale development should be allowed without local community consent
