I understand that the EMA wind farm construction is now well under way.

How badly will this affect the locally based air ambulance unit? A little bird tells me their helipad is less than 200 metres downwind (i.e. of the prevailing wind) of the turbines and they aren't happy bunnies. A no-fly zone has apparently been declared (yes, at an airport!) and this will prevent their normal Class A departure path.
