South west renewable energy DOUBLES in past 12 months Huge growth in capacity also results in jobs’ boom A new report, launched today, reveals that renewable energy has more than doubled in the past year in the south west of England, creating thousands of new jobs. Carried out annually by independent experts Regen SW, the Renewable Energy Progress Report – which collects together information on all of the known renewable electricity and heat projects in the south west – reveals that: RENEWABLE ELECTRICITY capacity increased from 217 MW in 2010/11 to 525 MW in 2011/12 RENEWABLE HEAT capacity grew from 91.5 MW in 2010/11 to 119 MW in 2011/12 The growth is dominated by solar PV, which has seen 160 MW of smaller-scale PV and 75 MW of stand-alone solar parks installed in the past year.
Rapid growth in green jobs This investment in renewables has resulted in rapid growth in jobs, and Regen SW estimates that 10,000 people are now employed in the sector in the south west.

National Planning Policy Framework - Planning, building and the environment. The National Planning Policy Framework sets out the government’s planning policies for England. The Framework is an important part of the government’s reforms to make the planning system less complex easier to understand. It vastly reduced the number of policy pages about planning. The Framework sets out planning policies for England and how they are expected to be applied.
It provides guidance for local planning authorities and decision-takers, both in drawing up plans and making decisions about planning applications. The Framework does not contain specific waste policies, since national waste planning policy will be published as part of the National Waste Management Plan for England. The Framework should be read in conjunction with the government’s planning policy for traveller sites. There are no specific policies for nationally significant infrastructure projects in the Framework.
