PRE-PLANNING ADVICE
Q1: Does your department / authority offer pre-planning advice to developers of onshore
wind energy developments?
Q2: If 'Yes', does the pre-planning advice include reference to shadow flicker effect?
Q3: If 'Yes', does the pre-planning advice offer guidance on how a developer should assess
the shadow flicker effect?
Please continue to next page...
CURRENT GUIDANCE
'10 x Rotor Diameter' rule-of-thumb
Some governments have issued guidance suggesting that shadow flicker effect occurs only
within 10 rotor diameters from the turbine position, and the impact is not considered
significant beyond this distance.
Q4: Do you consider the '10 x Rotor Diameter' rule an appropriate assessment area for
shadow flicker reports?
Q5: Would an alternative calculation method for the assessment area be preferable to
the '10 x Rotor Diameter' rule?
Other
Shadow Flicker Effect outside properties
Some governmens have issued guidance suggesting that shadow flicker effect occurs only
within buildings where the flicker appears through a narrow window opening.
Q6: Should shadow flicker assessments be limited to the interior of residential buildings?
Q7: If 'No', should the following receptors be included in shadow flicker assessments?
Road users
Footpath users
Bridleway users
Non-residential properties (eg. offices, warehouses, etc)
Other receptors -
please specify in 'Other'
Other
Quantitative Guidance
In recent years, regulations have emerged in other countries proposing a quantitative
approach to assessing shadow flicker. This approach sets a limit on the duration that a
receptor can be exposed to shadow flicker effects.
Q9: What is your opinion on the value of adopting quantitative guidance on shadow
flicker effect?

Please comment
Q10: Please include any other comments relating to amendments / omissions / additions
to current guidance below.
Please comment
Q8: Please elaborate on your reason(s) for including additional receptors in shadow
flicker assessments.

BEST PRACTICE SHADOW FLICKER ASSESSMENTS
'Worst Case Scenario'
The 'Worst Case Scenario' assumes:
-
Continuous sunshine during daylight hours;
- Continually rotating turbine blades;
-
No vegetation or other obstacles are screening the receptor;
-
The wind turbine rotor plane is always perpendicular to the receptor and sun.
Q11: Should shadow flicker assessments adhere to the 'Worst Case Scenario' detailed
above?
Q12: If 'No', please specify how they should differ and your reason for proposing an
alternative approach.
Please specify
Q13: Should field data or site-specific environmental data (eg. meteorological data,
screening effects, etc) be included in shadow flicker assessment models?
Q14: If 'Yes', please elaborate below:
Please elaborate

PROPOSED MITIGATION MEASURES
Q15: When considering a planning application, what mitigation strategies for predicted
shadow flicker effects do you consider appropriate?
Careful site design to minimise / eliminate impact
Turbine shut-down strategy
Installation of blinds
Landscaping / vegetation screening
Other - please specify in 'Other'
Other
Q16: Has your department / authority had any involvement in assigning a planning
condition relating to shadow flicker to a consent for an onshore wind energy
development?
Q17: If 'Yes', please provide as much detail as possible about the planning condition
below.

circumstances triggering the complaint; and details of how the complaint was resolved
(if applicable).
