PWAG has worked with a group of experts to produce a formal Objection Document which has now been handed to WMDC Planning Officers. This document explains in detail why Planning Approval must be refused including:

1. The Planning Application Document itself is deeply flawed with significant omissions and inconsistencies.

2. The turbines are too close to residential dwellings.

3. The impact on the Landscape Character of Went Edge is severe.

4. The proposed site is Green Belt and this proposal contravenes a wide range of planning policies.

5. Local residents would be adversely affected by noise day and night.

6. The assessment of the incidence of ‘Shadow Flicker’ demonstrates that its occurrence will be an unacceptable nuisance.

7. The distraction of the wind farm in such close proximity to the A1 trunk road will increase the risk of accidents.

8. There is a risk of aircraft accidents caused by spurious radar images.

9. There is a high probability of loss of TV reception.

10. The wind farm presents unacceptable risks to public safety.

11. The huge local opposition to this proposal indicates the depth of feeling among residents of many communities.

12. The detrimental impact on the local economy seriously degrades the attractiveness of the area.
