The Association of Greater Manchester Authorities (AGMA) have published an energy study (officially titled the 'Decentralised and Zero Carbon Energy Planning study').
It was prepared by consultants Urbed, AECOM and Quantum Strategy & Technology.
PPS 1 Supplement (Planning and Climate Change) provides the context for the study. The study provides an evidence-based understanding of the local feasibility and potential for renewable and low- carbon technologies to supply new development.
Disclaimer
In relation to the information contained within this report, the council makes the following disclaimer without prejudice:
The study contributes towares the LDF evidence base, which includes a wide range of documents. The study is not planning policy itself. It feeds into the LDF, alongside other evidence base documents.
The identification of potential energy resources does not imply that the council will necessarily grant planning permission for such energy proposals. The study identifies that further work across Greater Manchester is required. This includes the refinement and the application of constraints and the need for further studies.
Planning applications will continue to be treated on their merits, against the appropriate development plan policies and other material planning considerations.
The Energy Study is available to download on the AGMA website.
