I am only making the point that the wind turbine firm,planners,et al seem to have overlooked the low flying.
Can we get to the crux these are a real danger to low flying aircraft in poor vis
Hi T21,

You can rest assured that before a Wind Farm gets anywhere near the planning stage that quite a bit of consultation has gone on beforehand. All sorts of agencies will have had input and this includes CAA and MoD. So it looks like the professional bodies responsible for military Low Flying and aviation safety don't agree with you on that one!!

So it looks like you can scratch that "low Flying" part of your objection letter - sorry to be the bearer of bad news!

Actually I'm with AA on this - they are not worth the investment and are just a sop to the green agenda. Nuclear now, for one more generation, until wind/wave/solar can actually advance to the stage of being useful generators.



PS: T21.... You may feel that you are not a Nimby - but you are. Why else would you try and garner support to an objection point that in no way effects you?
What is you objection BTW? It isn't Low Flying that's for sure. If your objection point is good enough it will stop/amend the development - what do you think is going to happen?
