3) We are out of time for implementing renewables, communities and Government should have done this long ago - so you can understand why the rush to build anything that comes along. Communities can do the leg work and suggest better sites quickly, but it has to be now.

2) "applicants should seek and rule out other locations before siting developments on peatland; applicants should take all opportunities to identify habitat enhancement opportunities in development design;" If Gov won't do the research and rely only on companies, it's up to communities to step up.

We elect our leaders to lead, not sit there as developers suggest ideas. Where is the leadership?

Tell me you know nothing about peatlands without telling me: "Developers can further mitigate impacts by restoring peatlands as soon as possible after disturbance..."
It takes thousands of years for blanket bog to form.

Every community across the UK should be taken along with renewables with a national drive and race to build this infrastructure as fast as possible. Not handing over everything to companies willy-nilly. At least this Government is actually building renewables but I had much higher hopes for how.

It has to be Chelsea, the main event for the full funding and focus otherwise it sends the same message, it’s for the elite and London. Even with the other shows moving.

Thanks - yes they don’t seem to spread easily in our dense meadow with only a few plants, so I’m planning to boost numbers with plugs
