Wind energy

There were several parishioners at last night's Parish Council meeting, concerned about the proposals for four wind turbines on the edge of the landfill site.

On the PC I am hoping that we can approach this from the point of view of looking at the health evidence. Obviously there are strong views about how turbines look but I suspect protestors will make less progress on these grounds. Health issues  might carry most impact, particularly the noise generated and guidelines on suitable distances from residential development.

We have no formal planning application yet but the Parish Council has put together a working party of parish councillors and concerned parishioners to collate information and identify the key concerns.

FCC are attending an open meeting of the Parish Council on Wednesday 6 March.

Please note that the Parish Council spring surgery will be the following week Wednesday 13 March and will, appropriately be around wind energy

Please note that there are 8 turbines proposed by FCC for the Cranfield site.

Absolutely right - but there are four which are more Cranfield than Brogborough and it is these which are causing the most concern for residents.
