Stop energy/solar companies using NSIP legislation to bypass local planning

The use of NSIP legislation to bypass local democratic planning processes undermines accountability, weakens community trust, and risks the imposition of industrial-scale developments on landscapes and farmland without proper scrutiny. While the transition to renewable energy is dedirable, it must be delivered in a way that respects local decision-making, balances environmental impacts, and ensures that communities, homes, businesses and agriculture are not destroyed in the process.
