Rejected petition Review recent energy strategy to make planning for onshore wind turbines easier

Rejected on 12 April 2022

There is an energy crisis and climate emergency now. Onshore wind turbines are cheap, effective and quick to install. Onshore wind linked with Hydrogen storage would be a good way to provide clean green renewable energy 100% of the time quicker than the governments proposed strategy.

Debate the planning legislation with regard to onshore wind to put it on a par with a war footing due to the urgent nature and vulnerability of the climate emergency and energy crisis. Consider permitted development on existing wind turbine sites to permit a blade tip height of 119m. Similarly, planning legislation with regards to wayleaves, easements for infrastructure and grid connections with a view to streamline and simplify planning and connections for onshore wind.

Why was this petition rejected?
