SR NPF4 SUPPLEMENTARY POSITION STATEMENT - PEAT AND CARBON-RICH SOILS

This document sets out Scottish Renewables members’ views on what will need to be included in National Planning Framework 4 (NPF4) to deliver the level of renewable energy technology deployment needed to meet Scotland’s Climate Change commitments and achieve net-zero by 2045.

SR believes NPF4 provides an opportunity to establish a pragmatic approach to development in peatlands that allows for well-designed and executed low-carbon development.
