2. What’s good about brownfield sites?

Planning regulations for turbines below 5MW are simpler than those of a larger wind farm. Achieving planning permission and establishing a grid connection are the typical obstacles for a large wind farm. However, this is much easier for industrial or commercial sites which often benefit from:

  • fewer residential dwellings nearby
  • less impact on the visual landscape
  • existing electrical grid connections
  • existing access roads
  • few ecological or heritage concerns
