Sunak has fought off a rebellion from within his party as ministers are said to be discussing ways to finalise the details on the amendment, particularly on how fast the Government could legally scrap the ban.<\/p>\n<p>Plans are reportedly being written for a minister to submit a written statement to the Commons which will commit to changing the current planning rules. In October last year Sunak pledged to keep the onshore wind farm ban in place.<\/p>\n<p>The Government\u2019s Energy Bill will be voted on as ministers return from their summer recess with Labour said to support the proposed changes. Only six more Tory backbenchers will need to vote in favour to overturn the Government\u2019s majority.<\/p>\n<p> <strong> READ MORE: <\/strong> <strong>Tories believe Rishi is their secret weapon to beat Labour in next election<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/139\/590x\/secondary\/4941582.jpg?r=1693797897525\"><\/p>\n<p>In July Sir Alok Sharma, the former Cop26 president, formally proposed an amendment to the Government\u2019s Energy Bill.His amendment requires the Government to show developers how they can demonstrate that local communities support their plans, and how they can provide financial benefits to those communities.<\/p>\n<p>The plan would also prohibit appeals against a decision by a local council to refuse planning permission for a wind farm to ensure that local wishes are respected. Sir Alok said in July: \u201cLast autumn the Government committed to change the planning rules by the end of April this year to overturn the de facto ban on onshore wind. Unfortunately, this has not happened.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis amendment will help to deliver on the Government\u2019s own promise to unlock investment in one of the cheapest forms of energy. Ultimately this will bring down household bills and improve our energy security.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> <strong> Don&#8217;t miss&#8230; <\/strong> <strong>Hidden charges and fake reviews clamp-down as it costs UK staggering \u00a31.6bn<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/139\/590x\/secondary\/4941583.jpg?r=1693797897605\"><\/p>\n<p>We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you&#8217;ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.
