Concerns mount about Welsh planning system
Concerns about an increasingly important element of Wales’ planning system are growing, with some local authority officials saying their departments are being put under pressure.
CPRW, the Welsh countryside charity, has claimed that the new Developments of National Significance planning system, intended to fast-track renewable energy projects, is not fit for purpose.
The DNS system, introduced by the Welsh Government in 2016, is a type of planning application for large infrastructure projects of national importance, including all ground-based solar and onshore wind developments of more than 10MW capacity.
