Brogborough wind turbines

This has just come in from Proteous PR addressed to parish councillors:


We are getting in touch to inform you of a public consultation by FCC Environment regarding proposals for a wind energy project on land at its Brogborough site, located in the Marston Vale on the A421 Woburn Road.

The company has been undertaking detailed feasibility assessments for over a year, to ensure the Brogborough site is appropriate for a wind energy development. It is proposed to site up to eight turbines on solid ground, off waste, at its Brogborough site which would be able to generate enough electricity to power the equivalent of over 4100 homes per year*. 

FCC Environment takes its responsibilities as a developer seriously and is committed to open and transparent consultation regarding these proposals for the Brogborough site. A thorough pre-application consultation is being carried out from November 2012 until the end of January 2013 to ensure that members of the local and regional community have an opportunity to view the proposals and share their feedback.

Public exhibitions are due to be held w/c 7th January 2013 where full details of the proposals, including the findings of our Environmental Impact Assessment, will be on display and members of the project development team available to answer questions and listen to feedback from the local community. These exhibitions will be publicised through a range of means including newspaper advertising, leaflet distribution and posters.

As part of the consultation process, and in advance of the public exhibitions, we would like to invite you to join other members of the Marston Vale Community Liaison Group and invited local stakeholders at a project presentation on Wednesday, 12th December at Cranfield Management Development Centre, Wharley End.
