Teignbridge District Council have commissioned LUC to carry out a Landscape Sensitivity Assessment. The study will assess the potential for on-shore wind energy and large scale photovoltaic development in Teignbridge District.

This project will inform the Council’s renewables policy to help them make informed decisions on renewable energy development. It adds to the suite of landscape sensitivity assessments we have already completed across Devon (Torridge, Mid Devon and North Devon).

LUC also wrote Devon Landscape Policy Group’s Advice Note No. 2 on Accommodating Wind and Solar PV Developments in Devon’s Landscape, which provides guidance on minimising harm to the distinctive character and special qualities of Devon’s landscape through sensitive siting and design.
