Representation Summary:
Page 29. There is every acknowledgement that reducing carbon emissions are crucial. However the Council needs to take care with regard to local or on site energy generation in terms of its visual impact on the local environment. The placing of photovoltaic cells/solar panels on roofs and the growth of small wind turbines threatens the street scene. Moreover there is growing resistance occasioned by the noise, vibration and flicker effect of wind turbines. In order not to unduly constrain development in the Borough I think the Council should await the Govt. changes to the Building Regulations.
