Options for Key Issue 26: Renewable Energy Option 26A Preferred Option Introduce Areas of Constraint in relation to renewable development (wind turbines): this option would restrict renewable development that has an impact on amenity i.e. wind turbines within the existing Areas of High Scenic Value at Portmore Lough, Magheraknock Loughs, Belfast Basalt Escarpment, Craigantlet Escarpment, Castlereagh Slopes, Castlereagh Escarpment and Lagan Valley AONB. Option 26B Retain the existing policy-led approach in relation to renewable development: this option facilitates the development of the Council’s renewable energy requirements in keeping with existing planning policy (PPS 18: Renewable Energy) and Central Government policy. Reason Existing policy contained within the existing Development Plan, the SPPS and regional guidance within the Regional Development Strategy (RDS) support a balanced approach to renewables energy development that will give a competitive advantage. However, the diversity of landscapes in the Council area combine to provide a unique resource of significant environmental quality. Areas of High Scenic Value and AONBs are principally designated to protect the setting of Urban Areas and other areas of particular landscape merit. This option recognises that it is important to limit the visual impact of wind turbines within these areas and is in keeping with the SPPS. Reason Whilst this option is in line with existing policy it does not specifically acknowledge the impact that certain renewable energy development, namely wind turbines could have on sensitive landscapes, such as Areas of High Scenic Value or Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The SPPS notes the benefits of renewables development however states that the siting of facilities should be in appropriate locations without compromising other environmental assets of acknowledged importance.
