South Pontefract Wind Farm

Your property could lose up to 30% of it's value* and under English law there's now't you can do about it.

The application for a wind monitoring mast by Banks Development Company which was turned down by the elected representatives of Wakefield Council has now been approved on appeal by the Inspectorate based in Bristol. This takes us much nearer to the prospect of a wind farm being developed in the South Pontefract area including Darrington, West Park, Chequerfield, Carleton, Wentbridge and East Hardwick. The site is much closer to residential property than any other UK wind farm. The effects of such a huge developement with turbines the size of Big Ben dominating the landscape will be felt most acutely by those who live in the South Pontefract area but also by those who live further afield. The impact on local property prices will be severe not to mention the effect that this will have on the local economy.

The Inspectorate appear to have felt it necessary to overturn Wakefield Council's decision because of Government policy.  Banks, who are based in Bishop Auckland, stand to make large profits themselves but grudgingly agree that "development can cause a degree of uncertainty in property values".
