How close can you get?
One reader has shared the following material which reflects the complexity and difficulty of spelling out minimum distances between wind turbines and residences.See Planning Resource

Milton Keynes are locking horns with RWE npower in the High Court on February 28th 2013 over this issue. The High Court in London will hear the case brought by RWE Npower on 28 February 2013. This foreign multi-national company are attempting to thwart the democratic process and the decision by Milton Keynes Council to protect the health and safety of residents by keeping industrial size turbines away from houses and public rights of way.Should be interesting.
As someone whose house is very close to the proposed turbines at Cranfield, the whole noise/infra noise worries me to death. It feels as if the companies will ride roughshod over the public to get their subsidies and profits regardless of the health and welfare of those who would be affected. Some decent research wouldn't go amiss either! I suspect that even if the planning application is rejected, someone higher up will pass it so that targets are met and our lives are potentially badly affected for a long time to come.

D'oh, dodgy mouse meant my comment got published 3 times. Sorry!
No worries Dodgy Mouse. My e-cat is always on the prowl LOL.
Have we got any update on this?
The health issues need to be looked at closely and a minimum exclusion zone between turbines and houses would seem practical and desirable.
