What this site sits on
The recorded coordinate falls on land surveyed as Non Agricultural agricultural land.
- National Landscape (AONB) — Cornwall
REPD gives one representative coordinate per scheme, not the site boundary, so this describes the point on record rather than the whole site — a large site can straddle a designation edge. Boundaries come from planning.data.gov.uk, which publishes for England only.
Cornwall’s record on onshore wind
Cornwall has decided 35 onshore wind schemes and approved 74%, taking a median of 7.5 months. See every onshore wind scheme decision in Cornwall →
