Onshore wind projects will be approved more quickly in England as part of new measures being brought forward.
The government said it would streamline planning rules, meaning local areas would have a greater say in how onshore wind projects should be considered.
Measures include broadening the ways that suitable locations can be identified, including by communities, and speeding up the process of allocating sites by giving alternatives to the local plan process.
The government said this would “ensure the whole community has a say, not just a small number of objectors”.
