  • Wind Turbine Experiences Survey 2012
    Wind Turbine experiences 2012 survey results Introduction The Government’s commitment to renewable energy has meant a large increase in the number of wind farms and domestic turbines over the last few years. In 1995, in response to the Government seeking guidance, the BHS recommended that there should be a distance of at least 200m between a turbine and the nearest off-road equestrian route, which was supported by the Countryside Commission at the time. However, this was based on turbine heights of less than 60 metres and by 1998 there were already applications for turbines of 100m, so the BHS urged Government to revise its guidance to an appropriate formula of three times the height of the turbine with an absolute minimum of 200 metres. Although the three times height was accepted by the Countryside Agency, the Government’s guidance was not revised. The Agency went further and proposed that four times the height be recommended for national trails and promoted equestrian routes on the basis that these are likely to be used by horses unfamiliar with turbines. Government guidance up to July 2013 said: “The British Horse Society ... has suggested a 200 metre exclusion zone around bridle paths to avoid wind turbines frightening horses. Whilst this could be deemed desirable, it is not a statutory requirement ...”. In many cases, this separation distance was adopted as reasonable; however, the latest Government guidance does not specifically refer to horses and says: "Other than when dealing with set back distances for safety, distance of itself does not necessarily determine whether the impact of a proposal is unacceptable." The latest BHS guidance, revised as a result of this survey, gives a number of factors which increase the impact of wind turbines on equestrian access and which should increase the set back distance.

  • Surnames As a Science
    SURNAMES AS A SCIENCE ROBERT FERGUSON, M.P. PREFACE That portion of our surnames which dates back to Anglo-Saxon times, and so forms a part of the general system by which Teutonic names are governed, is distinctly a branch of a science, and as such has been treated by the Germans, upon whose lines I have generally endeavoured to follow. It has been a part of my object to show that this portion of our surnames is a very much larger one than has been generally supposed, and that it includes a very great number of names which have hitherto been otherwise accounted for, as well as of course a great number for which no explanation has been forthcoming. Nevertheless, while claiming for my subject the dignity of a science, I am very well aware that the question as to how far I have myself succeeded in treating it scientifically is an entirely different one, and one upon which it will be for others than myself to pronounce an opinion. This work is of the nature of a supplement to one which I published some time ago under the title of The Teutonic Name-system applied to the Family-names of France, England, and Germany (Williams and Norgate), though I have been obliged, in order to render my system intelligible, to a certain extent to go over the same ground again. I will only say, in conclusion, that in dealing with this subject—one in which all persons may be taken to be more or less interested—I have endeavoured as much as possible to avoid technicalities and to write so as to be intelligible to the ordinary reader.
