MOTION SUBMITTED UNDER PROCEDURE
RULE 11
By Cllr Muriel Miller
THAT this Council
recognises:
·
the need to increase the amount of renewable energy generated on the
Island,
·
that recent advances in technology now mean that individuals can make a
difference themselves by installing energy generators such as solar panels and
home wind turbines,
·
that the Council has a role in assisting individuals to take such
action.
Council therefore RESOLVES
that the Cabinet Member for Environment, Planning and Transport, Councillor Ian
Ward:
·
investigates the viability of a Local Development Order which would
enable householders (provided clearly stated criteria are satisfied) to erect
solar panels and wind turbines without the need for planning permission, and
·
in the event that such an Order is viable, bring forward a proposal as
soon as is practicably possible.
6.
