  • Northamptonshire Conservatives Welcome Wind Farm Planning Announcement
    NORTHAMPTONSHIRE CONSERVATIVES WELCOME WIND FARM PLANNING ANNOUNCEMENT Conservative Members of Parliament in Northamptonshire and the Party’s Parliamentary Candidate for Corby & East Northamptonshire, Thomas Pursglove, have today welcomed the changes to planning law which will ensure local residents affected by wind farm proposals will actually have a proper say in whether wind turbines are sited in or near their communities. New planning guidance supporting the planning framework from DCLG will make clear that the need for renewable energy does not automatically override environmental protections and the planning concerns of local communities. It will also give greater weight to landscape and visual impact concerns. In welcoming the announcement Chris Heaton-Harris MP (Daventry), said: “If you have been involved in any local campaign to fight an inappropriately sited onshore wind farm, you will know that on every occasion local opinion is trumped at the planning appeal by national energy policy/targets. The changes announced mean that this is reversed and more weight has to be given to local opinion. From what I can gather, subsidies will also be reviewed on an annual basis. This is superb news for those fighting unwanted wind turbines across Daventry and across the whole of England. I truly believe that this announcement brings about the beginning of the end of new onshore wind turbines across England. It is extraordinarily excellent news!” Peter Bone MP (Wellingborough), said: “Conservative ministers are to be congratulated for pushing through a reform to planning regulations which will mean that when local councils turn down wind farm proposals, they will not be overturned on appeal.

  • THE CASE AGAINST WINDFARMS Country Guardian Has Been Researching the Impact of Windfarms on the Environment Since Its Formation in 1992
    1 THE CASE AGAINST WINDFARMS Country Guardian has been researching the impact of windfarms on the environment since its formation in 1992. Its research document "The Case Against Windfarms" is detailed and runs to about 20 A4 pages. Most recently updated in May 2000 it is printed below, preceded by a statement of Country Guardian's Policy on Windfarms. You can use the Index on the left to go straight to a specific section, or read it straight through, or download it A. THE CASE FOR WIND "FARMS" EXAMINED B. THE SCALE OF DEVELOPMENT REQUIRED C. THE PROBLEM OF INTERMITTENCY D. LANDSCAPE QUALITY OF WIND "FARM" SITES E. BEAUTIES OR BEASTS? F. WIND TURBINES OFFSHORE? G. THE NOISE FACTOR H. TELEVISION INTERFERENCE I. WIDER ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES J. SAFETY K. TOURISM, JOBS, HOUSE PRICES L. THE EFFECT ON BIRDS M. PUBLIC OPINION N. WHY THE NEW PHENOMENON OF WINDFARMS? O. GOVERNMENT POLICY P. EUROPEAN UNION POLICY Q. KYOTO R. WIND 'FARMS' AND THE PLANNING SYSTEM S. THE FUTILITY OF SUPPLY-SIDE SOLUTIONS T. HOW CAN ELECTRICITY NEEDS BE MET? U. THE VALUE OF LANDSCAPE V. CONCLUSION Country Guardian's Policy on Windfarms Country Guardian believes that the development of commercial wind power that has taken place with government support since 1990 is misguided, ineffective and neither environmentally nor socially benign. We accept that wind energy has a role and that the countryside has always changed and will always change but we argue that the environmental and social cost of the development of commercial wind energy is quite out of proportion to any benefit in the form of reduced emissions.
