The policies for Renewable Energy in the 2015 Local Plan for West
Dorset are:
COM11. RENEWABLE ENERGY DEVELOPMENT
i)
Proposals for generating heat or electricity from renewable
energy sources (other than wind energy) will be allowed wherever
possible providing that the benefits of the development, such as the
contribution towards renewable energy targets, significantly outweigh
any harm. In addition, permission will only be granted provided:
• any adverse impacts on the local landscape, townscape or
areas of historical interest can be satisfactorily assimilated;
• the proposal minimises harm to residential amenity by virtue of
noise, vibration, overshadowing, flicker, or other detrimental emissions,
during construction, its operation and decommissioning;
• adverse impacts upon designated wildlife sites, nature
conservation interests, and biodiversity are satisfactorily mitigated.
