A stark reminder of what else is involved apart from the turbines. Appeal Notification 8250/2005/OKE To erect 9 wind turbines, electricity transformers, control building, wind monitoring mast and to construct access tracks, crane hardstandings and associated works plus a temporary construction compound and two temporary wind monitoring masts . No doubt this is what would be involved with Chilla Moor as well, as if the turbines aren't bad enough.

The UK is seeing a growth in the development of wind power generation as the Government seeks to meet EU renewable energy targets. Wind energy developments can often have a significant impact on the appearance of the landscape. For this and other reasons they are often highly controversial in the local areas where they are proposed. This briefing sets out the findings of CPRE’s investigation of a growing number of cases where developers of new wind farms are offering various forms of payments and benefits directly to local communities, as a means of overcoming opposition to development. These voluntary ‘goodwill payments’, sometimes also known as ‘community funds’, are also routinely offered by at least three leading generators of wind power in connection with every new proposed development.
