Our reasons for NOT wanting this development are soundly based on facts, rather than speculation.

It is a FACT that wind turbines in this part of England typically only operate for less than one quarter of the time.

It is a FACT that the energy output from wind turbines in this part of England is NOT always easily connected to the distribution grid owing to the unpredictable and intermittent nature of the wind.

It is a FACT that wind turbines are VERY NOISY when fully operational. It is also a FACT that the blades of a typical turbine can be 'feathered' so that there is no noise (but also no energy generated) and that this is often done when interested parties are invited to visit the installation.
