From 1 April 2009, Cheshire West and Chester Council is the new Council replacing Chester City Council, Ellesmere Port & Neston Borough Council, Vale Royal Borough Council and the western part of Cheshire County Council. The pages and documents through this website may contain branding and information relevant to the old councils, but are being made available because they are still relevant to our customers. We are continuing to update all materials on the Cheshire West and Chester website and aim to remove all references to the old Councils by the end of the year (2009).

Supplementary Planning Document 4 - Landscape Sensitivity and Wind Turbine Development

This guidance in the Landscape Sensitivity and Wind Turbine Development SPD builds upon the work that has been undertaken for the Landscape Character Areas. The document assesses the capacity of each landscape type identified in the Landscape Character Assessment document to accommodate different scales of wind turbine development, from a single turbine to a large group of turbines.

The document also sets out guidance on how wind turbine development should be designed and sited so as to minimise their impacts on the landscape.

The Landscape Sensitivity and Wind Turbine Development Supplementary Planning Document, the accompanying Sustainability Appraisal, Technical Report and a summary of comments received during the production of the document can be viewed by following the links from this page.
