| Description : |
This study covered an area including 3 towns communities (Communauté de Communes du Val de Noye, Communauté de Communes du Canton de Conty and Communauté de Communes du Sud-Ouest Amiénois) involved in the approach. The project contractor was the Communities Union of the Pays de Somme Sud Ouest region representing the 3 towns communities. The objective was to develop a document facilitating choices in terms of wind farms implantation. This document is illustrated with commented and captioned maps in order to facilitate its comprehension. The final objective was to validate with the Prefecture the report on planning study with a view to create a wind energy development zone (ZDE). The study was divided in 3 phases : - Phase 1 : Present situation assessment : data collection on socio-economic context, existing projects, land organisation, environmental and landscaped resources and constraints as well as technical constraints (servitudes, accessibility, grid connexion…). This phase ended with the development of a map atlas and a report on present situation and stakes assessment. - Phase 2 : Implementation scenarios and recommendations. It consisted in assessing the potential for wind farms development in the area, the impacts (visual, environmental, technical and economic), to check on the consistency with other land settlements and stakes and finally to specify follow-up indicators. - Phase 3 : propositions for the implementation of a follow-up plan and local consultation. This phase objective was to spread the approach towards local stakeholders within the framework of a consultation and local communication process. This phase also included the development of an overall communication booklet. |
