Planning for Hydropower: Planning Advice

Planning for Hydropower: Planning Advice has been produced by AMEC on behalf of Climate East Midlands, as part of the East Midlands Skills Programme, and is jointly funded by the Environment Agency.  It is intended to help local planning authorities, the Environment Agency, developers and other stakeholders better understand the complex planning issues associated with hydropower schemes in the East Midlands Region (and elsewhere in England) and to encourage a more joined-up approach to determining applications for their deployment. The advice applies to England only, as there are differences in planning legislation and guidance in the devolved administrations.
