Wind farm developers will soon be required, by law, to provide pre-application consultation to communities. To enable communities to make rational decisions, local seminars and workshops will be available to provide them with the skills needed to communicate with developers and planners. Whilst this procedure is already the case in most areas, it will be become compulsory. The reforms have been triggered by a consultation on community engagement by the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) and the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG). Larger or more significant schemes will require even earlier consultation and cumulative impacts will need to be considered. Communities could see greater financial gains (up to five times) from developers, if they host wind farms in their area. However, greater community payouts could make some projects unviable for some developers.

Observe always that everything is the result of change, and get used to thinking that there is nothing Nature loves so well as to change existing forms and make new ones of them.
- Marcus Aurelius, emperor of Rome (121-180 AD)
In our profession, a plan that everyone dislikes for different reasons is a success. A plan everyone dislikes for the same reason is a failure. And a plan that everyone likes for the same reason is an act of God.
- Richard Carson, Pacific Northwest planner and writer.
We architects and urban planners aren't the visible symbols of oppression, like the military or the police. We're more sophisticated, more educated, and more socially conscious. We're the soft cops.
- Robert Goodman, After the Planners
