Policy considerations around location, environmental impacts, and cumulative impacts of developments are currently set out in Future Wales and Planning Policy Wales. We have committed to revising Future Wales, the National Development Framework.

The Welsh Government is currently reviewing the evidence received in response to the consultation on draft strategic planning guidance for the Gwent Levels to provide greater clarity on how the area's distinctive characteristics should be considered in planning decisions.

It is important to clarify that large scale solar projects above 350MW are considered and consented by UK Government in accordance with UK National Policy Statements, however we would expect them to take due account to policy in Wales.
