Ensuring National Parks contribute to delivering Net Zero
The Scottish Government should avoid introducing National Parks in areas that would give rise to conflicts between planning policy and renewable energy developments.
Why the contribution is important
It is essential that the Scottish Government balances its ambitions to increase the number of National Parks in Scotland with the need to deploy more renewable energy to meet our legally binding target of reaching net-zero by 2045 and the binding interim targets for 2030 and 2040. Planning policy dictates that windfarms will not be built in either National Parks or National Scenic Areas. The Scottish Government should therefore avoid introducing National Parks in areas that would give rise to conflicts between planning policy and renewable energy developments.
