The EiEolienne map is a map that defines zones of the Region where wind-farm developments are excluded or restricted, To define landscape constraints, 4 scales of landscapes (Landscape territory; Large common rural landscape; landscapes unities and local zone) and 2 qualities (heritage value and landscapes? objectives) have been definied. Landscapes? Indicators have been aggregated with other indicators to set up a map that will support the assessment of the location a wind-farm project.
Description of tool - availability Description of tool - existing A planning-map considering landscapes through Wallonia was also judged not pertinent at the regional scale as landscapes are so varied and numerous. The definition of zones for wind-farm developments is still under debate in Belgium (and in other European countries). Until now, the tool in use (even if it is not a legal obligatory procedure) is the EIEolienne map. It defines zones in the territory where wind-farms locations are excluded or restricted. The main difference is that the focus is on constraints. Description of tool - adaptation Name of tool Description of tool - character The Framework of Guidelines for Wind Energy developments is a guideline of adapted technical definitions and solutions for projects. It sets up rules and good practices to be respected in a wind-farm project. The annexes also contain recommendations for developing the EIA.
