Earlier this week, PM Rishi Sunak announced that the regulations surrounding the size of onshore wind farm projects in the UK are to be modified, after quite some debate within the Conservative party. The newly relaxed rules will result in the development of onshore wind farms throughout the UK, leaving the local council to determine the planning and roll out of the projects.

The majority of the UK have expressed their encouragement for the growth of onshore wind projects in the UK as "it is one of the cheapest forms of electricity generation and would also strengthen Britain's energy security at a time of high oil and gas process triggered by Russia's invasion of Ukraine". Although the UK is a small and densely populated nation, with little land to spare in comparison to other nations, this fact, coupled with the thought that windfarms are unsightly have not been able to withstand the opposing arguments for the benefits of allowing such projects to go ahead. The government have assured that national parks and other protected areas will not be affected. Therefore, past objections will have to submit to compromise, with the UK's newly agreed renewable energy expansion.
