So next time you are up the coppice you should be able to see the turbine, hopefully you won't get one up there.

If Peter Britcliffe had his way we would have had a panopticon on the top of the coppice

No but I can probably see Great Gable on a clear day.

You don't coppice oaks - it's usually hazel. A few years ago I lived in an area where this was carried out as a cottage industry producing spars for thatching and poles for fence panels. We had a hazel coppice next to our house and our village pub had a unique name, the Hook and Glove, being the implements used - a billhook and a leather glove.

Well I'm no expert but a quick Google of Coppice Oak suggests you can, but correct me if I am wrong.

OK I didn't say you can't, I said you didn't. Oak is usually left as the standards among which the coppice crop is grown and cut down on a relatively short cycle and the oak can be cut on a longer cycle... sorry it's geting a bit late for lucid explanations...

From memory he was very much against it

35m is only a baby turbine, the ones on Ossy moor are 80m to the nacelle and 120m from the ground to the tip of the blade at its highest point

Well I reckon the dendrological link/explanation for the Coppice is stronger than that of a Dutch description of a hill. Maybe folk on here will correct me but I can't think of any other places near here on the map with links to the land of dykes. And Hollands Pies doesn't count.
