Original Note:
There was no legal "ban" on UK onshore wind farms. Instead, strict planning laws from 2015 required local government consent. Recent changes have now shifted decision-making from local government to Westminster, significantly reducing local government's influence. https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201516/cmhansrd/cm150618/wmstext/150618m0001.htm#15061882000002
