Local authorities

Support for local authorities

Regen SW has an excellent understanding of the policy framework that underpins sustainable energy and the planning issues that arise from associated planning applications through the process of establishing an evidence base for the Regional Spatial Strategy policies on sustainable energy.  Regen SW has developed tools and expertise, which can be used to support local authorities in the region.  For example, Regen SW can provide:

• support on the interpretation of national policy guidance through our regular email bulletin and events
• advice on the interpretation of regional policies on sustainable energy
• advice on dealing with planning applications for sustainable energy technologies
• support to councillors interested in sustainable energy, through our councillor network.
