DESNZ consultation open on solar canopies on car parks and EV charging

This consultation runs until 18th June.

It seeks views on proposals to mandate solar canopies over car parks of all types and, whilst the principles are sound, it could have significant implications on public (and private) car parks and potential impacts on future development sites.

I have responded today on behalf of ACES but you may wish to respond locally to this also. My response is attached here if useful and the link to the consultation is below:
