BradburyA) Opportunity map for commercial-scale onshore wind development in the UK (green areas) showing physical constraints (red areas) and policy constraints (yellow areas); B) ecological sensitivity map for onshore wind energy showing high sensitivity (purple areas), medium sensitivity (blue areas) and low/unknown sensitivity (green areas); and C) composite map showing remaining areas of opportunity with low/unknown ecological sensitivity after all constraints have been applied (green areas).
