What it asks

Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to increase the ability of communities to influence planning decisions for onshore windfarms by—
- adopting English planning legislation for the determination of onshore wind farm developments;
- empowering local authorities to ensure local communities are given sufficient professional help to engage in the planning process; and
- appointing an independent advocate to ensure that local participants are not bullied and intimidated during public inquiries.
