Wind power in green area creating red tape (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

paperwork

'red tape' is the definition.
(both can mean bureaucracy)

'wind power in green area' is the wordplay.
'wind' indicates anagramming the letters.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'green area' becomes 'park' (I've seen this in another clue).
'power' is an anagram of 'perwo'.
'perwo' going inside 'park' is 'PAPERWORK'.

'creating' acts as a link.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
