It is clear why UK Coal would object, if the wind turbines were to go ahead it then becomes more difficult for UK to get planning permission for Opencast. I would hate for our local landscape to be surface mined. If I was forced to choose then I could live with two small(ish) wind turbines out the back of my house. I would find the prolonged effects of an Opencast coalmine much more difficult to cope with.<br /><br />PS A detrimental effect on your enjoyment of the landscape (in other words the view) is a valid objection, a drop in house price however, is not.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05326926309714446446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2850358016902143288.post-3418855916773799112012-07-12T08:50:04.028+01:002012-07-12T08:50:04.028+01:00Liam,

While I agree with the premise of renewables, I’m not completely convinced about efficiency of wind turbines.<br /><br />I live in Bradley Cottages, and will see the turbines out of my window. I’ve taken the time to look at the plans, and was aware these weren’t as tall as other turbines in this area. But, I’m of the view these turbines would be in the wrong place.<br /><br />I have formally objected to the proposal, but not on the grounds of my view. I’m not sure my view is a valid argument for the planning committee. <br /><br />There were some good points raised at the meeting – it could well be that if this proposed turbine is built, it could be the first of many.<br /><br />I have my doubts this application will be approved. I see two of the noted consultees have already objected, one being The Coal Authority.<br /><br />But we’ll have to wait and see.Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02918082326804009166noreply@blogger.com
