Re: Wind Turbines In Altham
This is what the environmentalists have been pushing for a long time. However, now that windmills have been erected on some of England's prettiest, wildest coastline, there are few cries of joy. These things have ruined the beauty of the place......so sayeth some enviros. Well, what did they expect?

Oh well, just can't make it easy for you the link thingy does not seem to be playing with me today !! So you will just have to type the bloody thing out .. done it now about twenty times ... sorry.

Team work hun.
I'm with Kate, they don't bother me that much, and we do need to look for an energy supply that isn't reliant on imports from dwindling stocks abroad. Look how Italy was held to ransom last year by Russia with it's gas supply.

Re: Wind Turbines In Altham
I like them TBH, Like Katex i find then theraputic. I know that wildlife lovers complain that they kill a few birds but we do have a responsibility to look for alternative methods of generating electricity if we want to be so dependant on it. I was in B&Q yesterday and just as you walk in there was a stand showing off 'personal' wind turbines and solar panel water heaters.
heres a link B&Q Online

Re: Wind Turbines In Altham
They're not in Hyndburn - the article says that they needed planning permission from Burnley BC.

Call me a cynic but somehow If we did that, our turbines would have to have a large arrow pointing to the blades and instructions saying, 'plant this way up'

Re: Wind Turbines In Altham
Saw them from the motorway on my way home from Burnley. Although they are quite majestic I do think they're very big and I know it's not in the middle of a town but there are a number of houses near by - bet they're not pleased (also wouldn't be that thrilled myself in all honest at that proximity).
I think they're beautiful and wonderful for the future of fuel, etc - but far better suited to more isolated wilder spots.

Well, seems there were no objections Gayle. Unless, like A-B didn't spot the planning application.

Re: Wind Turbines In Altham
Apparently there were lots of objections - it took six years for them to get it through planning permission.
It does bring up the question of what happens with planning requests when the place in question is very close to the border. I mean, on this occassion the site is in Burnley (well Hapton) so how would people who live just over the border get the opportunity to object if they wanted to?
