Solar Energy UK welcomes the opportunity to respond to the DLUHC’s consultation on the introduction of an Environmental Outcomes Report to replace current environmental assessments regimes.
We welcome the intention to streamline planning whilst adding clarity to the environmental assessment of developments for the benefit of communities and betterment of the environment.
As the trade association representing solar and storage technologies in the UK, we are committed to ensuring that solar plays a central role in the clean energy transition. If we are to tackle these challenges, it is essential that we take a holistic approach, capitalising on the synergies presented by innovative and integrated approaches to energy generation and ecological enhancement.
