Crying wolf?

Going back to Jamesman's original question. He is looking for reasons to block a wind turbine he doesn't like. Whether that dislike is justified or not I don't know, not being familliar with the case. However I'm a bit twitchy about what seems to be the principle of just looking for any objection. This is dangerously like 'crying wolf'. If objectors to just play the aviation card as routine eventually it becomes harder to identify the genuine concerns.

For what it is worth I have been on the other side, getting planning permission for wind energy. I have found the CAA and MOD both very professional, impartial and fully up to speed on all defence and civil radar and ATC issues - unlike some in the gliding and GA communities but that is another story!
