Fife - help needed again !

Many thanks to everyone who responded to our previous appeal for support – over 100 objections have now been lodged with the Planning Authorities.

Unfortunately we need to reach out and ask for you support again as an second planning application has been submitted, this time to erect a 120m Wind Turbine at the Bosch Rexroth factory in Glenrothes. This lies pretty much directly under the dogleg final approach to runway 25. If successful then it is highly unlikely that Fife Airport could continue to exist.

Fife Flying Club has submitted a detailed objection to the proposal. This can be viewed at http://www.fifeflyingclub.co.uk/committee/FFCObjection_Bosch%20Final.pdf

We have too few good airfields as it is these days therefore please take a few minutes to help stop this ludicrous plan which if successful will not only risk the closure of a great asset, but also be a huge intrusion to many people living in the proximity of the factory.

Should you feel inclined then letters of objection or support can be submitted online at http://planning.fife.gov.uk/online/applicationComments.do?action=showComments&caseNo=10/00144/FULL

Many thanks
