Presumably what we are talking about here is overshading of solar systems by adjacent developments or creating wind shadows by building something next to a wind turbine. Might be helpful to be explicit about this?

At the same time, the non-harm criteria are possibly a bit dangerously broad! All renewable assets degrade (slowly). I wouldn’t like to see lawyers doing well out of arguments that Mrs Smith’s shed in an adjacent field would cause 2% less income for a solar or wind farm next door farm?

Also, the DNO runs the network and will need to develop it over the next 20 years. This will affect availability and performance of generators. Should they be exempt from this requirement, or is there a risk of a planning policy that is unenforceable or contradicts national regulations?
