A full application for eight additional turbines has been received by Allerdale Borough Council. The details are now available online. The application can be viewed by following this link:
Friends of Rural Cumbria's Environment have worked hard in recent years to offer help and advice to other groups who have found themselves facing inappropriate wind energy applications in Allerdale and beyond. We hope that we can now count on the support of those we have assisted.
If this application were to be granted, the impact on the landscape would be immense, affecting a considerable area of Allerdale as well as the views into and out from the Lake District and Solway Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Please do not be put off by the number of documents which make up the application. It really isn't necessary to read them all. The main arguments against the scheme - apart from the misery that the existing three turbines are already causing to local residents - are surely the landscape impact and cumulative impact alongside Wharrels Hill, Tallentire and other schemes already operational or consented which are/will be visible from the application site itself or from nearby.
The simplest way to object is to click where it says 'comment on application,' fill in a few details and then write a sentence or two of objection. Don't forget to click on the box which confirms that you wish to object.
If you would prefer to write a little more, then it might be advisable to email the case officer, Rebecca Wilson, at planning@allerdale.gov.uk
Your comments can be sent as an attachment to the email.
The consultation end date is currently displayed as 19th August. Obviously with an application of this size, we will be allowed more time than this but it is nevertheless a good idea to get plenty of early objections in. The FORCE objection is currently being worked on and will be divided into several sections dealing with different aspects of the application.
Members of the same household can comment separately and please pass the information in this email on to everyone you think may be willing to object to this highly inappropriate and unacceptable scheme. This one must be defeated!
