One thing I never considered is 'shadow flicker'

This effect more that anything else would REALLY get on my tits.

I'd never thought about that effect. Having seen the you tube clip I agree that it would be a tad annoying!!

I agree, something I'd never thought of too. It is annoying.

That said, I think that would be more than fair grounds for a planning denial in the UK where things are a little stricter.

I can see some applications being turned down due to epilepsy sufferers / severe migraine sufferers?

I find it quite annoying when a double decker bus goes past but for hours...grrrrr.

The first Application was thrown out due to a woman with 2 autistic sons....but it doesn't seem to affect them now....something to do with their new car as I said before?!

We have these near us. I've grown up with them and really like them however.

Those turbines have dramatically improved the built environment in that pic.

This being PH, I knew I should have chosen a pic without any flats in, but I thought that maybe, just maybe, they may not get mentioned. How wrong I was

The photo is obviously originally about the layers and contrast from the high rises, to the housing, to the moors, to the windmills. The flats didn't just happen to fall into shot.
Gonna change the original just to please you lot!

Im sorry you have a little windfarm going in - exactly how many turbines - 10 ?.


It is hardly the end of the world they only get commissioned for roughly 20/30 years and must have a decommission plan. As stated I think your only issue on grounds of objection is access/egress for the turbines. If you dont know have a search on how they get transported !

I have this within 5 miles of me - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scout_Moor_Wind_Farm
Also have a proposed 24 further turbines going ahead next year. NIMBY will fail trust me on the opposition your mounting at the moment.

7 turbines.

10 just about 2 miles to the East too.

7 turbines? I had the impression of a farm of around 30-50 turbines. It's not exactly huge is it?

[Nickelson23]

I have 26 around my house at the moment. With another 24 proposed.

I never said it was - 1 is too many in that location!

My father's house now looks out onto a wind farm, built about 3 years ago - can't say it bothers any of us really. The view is just different, actually makes for quite an interesting feature.
