Renewable Energy Sites - Scotland
A national dataset for Scotland aggregating planning application data on renewable energy sites submitted to local authorities. Where authorities have structured their records, point or polygon data is included, filtered to retain sites that appear approved, pending, or operational while excluding rejected or withdrawn applications. Separate files describing existing working renewable energy sites, also in point and polygon form, have been merged with the planning application data to create combined national data layers covering renewable energy site status and location across Scotland.All local authorities will receive planning applications for renewable energy sites. Where local authorities have managed to categorise these in a structured way, we are provided with such data (in either point or polygon format), from which we have attempted to select only those sites that look to be approved, pending and/ or operational (i.e. removing rejected or withdrawn applications). We have also received separate files of data showing working renewable energy sites - both as point and polygon, and we have attempted to merge all of this data together to form national data layers.
