Deciding whether wind turbines will have a negative visual impact on their surroundings is widely debated. This depends where they are placed and where you view them from. So there will be an almost infinite range of views at each location. A site visit would really require a tour of the whole area!
Where there are few existing features on the landscape the turbines may themselves be the view (like those on the Garvock) but where they interrupt an existing and valued view we should perhaps think again.
What do you think? How many wind turbines should we host in the Howe and where should they go?
Well I have to say that watching them go up on the Garvock that I am liking them even less than before. The original seven were just about acceptable,now that we are at ten and counting it is getting overcrowded. If they did something useful,like keeping the clouds and rain away,it might not be so bad!
stunning ,,and making clean electricity at the same time,, what would you rather have ,, a massive powerstain billowing out fumes,, a nuclear station ,, lasts a few years and takes 40+ years to decomission!!!
with the turbines when they have come to the end of there life ,, take down ,, and its all recyclible ,, what is left is its base ,, all ready for a new turbine
