Industrial Wind Turbines
A new Report from the Society for Wind Vigilance finds that the noise from
industrial wind turbines impacts human health. The authoritative scientist, Dr. Chris
Hanning BSc, MB, BS, MRCS, LRCP, FRCA, MD recommends that industrial
turbines must not be erected closer than 1.5 kilometres from a residential house,
and that the noise must not be louder than 35dB(A).
DART have sent a letter dated 10th June to The Planning Officer in response to the
Holme Estate letter. It details threats to wildlife and other protected species and
additional criticism of the RPS environmental statement.
A DART / Dorset CPRE Media release on 7th June 2010 commented “This has a major influence on the 4 massive turbines proposed at East Stoke, near Wool, since they are right next to the Buddens year-round Scout Camp and only some 550 metres from the nearest houses”.
Infinergy have announced a revised planning application for 4 industrial wind turbines at East Stoke, near Wool. The 4 turbines 410 feet (125 metres) high will be in the same location as before where they will dominate the whole of the Purbeck Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and part of the Jurassic Coast. The DART (Dorset Against Rural Turbines) Action Group committee have developing a reasoned set of objections to the application for 4 industrial wind turbines at East Stoke near Wool.
The North Dorset District Planning Committee on the 2nd July 2009 unanimously rejected the 6 Ecotricity giant industrial turbines proposed for Silton, near Gillingham.
