TRANSCRIPT
The Message– The challenge of delivering decarbonised and
decentralised energy is huge– The role of communities and local authorities is pivotal– Large scale visioning and spatial planning is essential– Green Infrastructure Planning has a huge role to play– Investment in energy could be one of the means to
deliver GI– Add to that other infrastructure and roles (SUDs,
climate change adaptation, health, food, and you start to have an interesting mix
– There is potential for new forms of delivery
– Renewable and low carbon energy is part of the solution

– 8,000 onshore wind turbines
– 10,000 offshore – 300km wave farms,
1,000 tidal stream turbines
– 4m2 PV per person and solar thermal on 30% suitable roofs
– Energy crops over 10% of UK
– 13 nuclear power stations
– Plus CCS, storage and imports
– Energy efficiency– Development integrated
renewable and low carbon– Community integrated
renewable and low carbon– Stand-alone renewable and
low carbon
Energy Opportunities

Particular Issues for communities and landscape
Energy In New Development– Investme
nt off site to achieve post 2016 zero carbon through ‘allowable solutions’
Allowable solutions– Could amount to £5700 per unit
Assumption based on 1.9 tonnes eligible for allowable solutions payment at £100 per tonne for a 30 year period = £5,700 per home)
20,000 homes = £100,000,000
However…– Developers cannot be responsible for
delivery on third party land
– There is a need for renewable and low carbon investment opportunities
Delivery– National and regional targets have gone– Communities are going to be in charge of
planning– In the past, local resistance has been one of
the biggest barriers to delivery– We need people to back delivery, and even get
involved – there could be big rewards for those that do!
Green Infrastructure– Big steps forward in Green Infrastructure
Planning– Positive GI led spatial visions emerging
but
– Problems with delivery and convincing funders
Planning for GI and Energy– geography dictates the solution…
landcover, topography and hydrology fundamental to both
– both using GIS data– both require benefit from positive vision
Integrated GI Vision– ‘Traditional’ GI Issues– Energy Opportunities– Other ‘Green’ Infrastructure eg:
– SUDS– climate change adaptation– sustainable accessibility– local food– etc
Benefits– Addresses local concerns in an integrated way– Positions energy as part of a wider vision– Allows NIMBY issues to be addressed– Potential for compelling and proactive spatial
visions– Sets the framework for growth and
regeneration– Provides a mechanism for delivery
Most importantly!– Could addresses the funding issue:
– Allowable solutions?– CIL/infrastructure tariff?– Prudential borrowing? – Private sector energy company?– Developers diversifying?– Local authority role?
We have heard about MUSCO and ESCOs…what about Green Infrastructure Delivery
Companies?
Leadership essential– Understand the opportunities– Bring together energy and other Green
Infrastructure into a compelling vision– Promote opportunities for Green
Infrastructure – and help to deliver them– Develop planning policies which support
delivery while protecting the most important assets
– Set up mechanisms for delivering community benefits
