Within this framework, positive provision is being made for wind farm developments whilst ensuring that designated areas, species habitats and the historic heritage are protected from inappropriate development and that any disturbance to local communities is minimised.In our view this provides a robust framework, which ensures that our renewable resources can be fully exploited towards meeting our climate change obligations whilst safeguarding sites of particular local, national and international value.We are not persuaded that national co-ordination of the process would contributeto these objectives.
