Following last year’s public consultation on the approaches to site evaluation, RWM has today published the final reports detailing how they propose to evaluate potential GDF sites in England and in Wales. The approach is similar in both cases with minor changes only where needed to reflect the different local authority structures, regulatory bodies and planning arrangements.

I am pleased to report that the proposals are much improved on the versions issued for consultation back in December 2018/January 2019 with more detail provided and improved descriptions of the Siting Factors and Evaluation Considerations and importantly, how they will be used.

RWM has also provided a Consultation Response report describing the feedback received and how dealt with in the finalised documents.
