Representations supporting in general terms draft Policy CC8 (Renewable Energy) but objection to the failure of the Policy and proposals Map to recognise Glaston, Wing and Ketton Sites as a ‘ground mounted solar PV opportunity area’ on the Policies Map. It is considered that the opportunity presented at Glaston, Wing and Ketton Sites for ground mounted solar PV is able to address all matters in criteria (a) – (c) of this Policy, as well as the additional requirements of national planning policy.

Comments noted. Such sites could be considered when further detailed work on updating the Renewable Energy Study is undertaken. The wording of CC8 would not preclude support for ground mounted solar projects that lie outside the opportunity area designation on the Proposals Map. Extra para addressing assessment of sites outside of the opportunity area for ground mounted solar pv development suggested.
