TURBINE APPLICATION COMING SOON
So far, the wind data we have collected from the developer indicates that the wind resource at this site is lower than the national average !
Broadview will most likley submit the turbine application in the next few days.
We will put information and links to the planning application on here as soon as they become available. Please return to this page frequently to check the application status
Details of how to object can be found here
Make sure you come to the village meetings in January - information on dates and places can be found here
You can click here to go directly to SDC planning applications page to see the latest planning applications (be sure to let me know if the spot the turbine application!!)

FELDON RESIDENTS AGAINST WIND TURBINES
Who Are We?
We are a group of concerned residents of the Vale of Feldon (South Warwickshire) living in the immediate vicinity of the proposed wind turbine near Knightcote. Please support us – we need your help to save our beautiful countryside.
WE ARE NOT ALONE. The Vale of Feldon is under attack by greedy developers and there is a real possibility of 40 turbines within view of the Burton Dassett Country Park. In addition to Knightcote, the other three sites are: Wormleighton, Shuckburgh and Shotteswell. We need your help
We live in the villages of Knightcote, Bishops Itchington, Harbury, Northend, Gaydon, Temple Herdewyke and Fenny Compton (click here for details of Feldon Area).
BURTON DASSETT COUNTRY PARK is facing a massive impact on the quality of its unrivalled views

What is the threat?
A planning application for 5 X 400ft turbines is imminent!!
In 2009, the London based developer put in a planning application for an Anemometer (Met) Mast which was twice rejected by Stratford District Council and all the Parish Councils. Despite this clearly expressed by our democratically elected representatives, the developer twice appealed to the Secretary of State who, with reservations, finally allowed the application.
You can see the mast in the picture below (with a simulation of what just 3 of these turbines will look like). We all know how big the mast looks when we drive past it every day and yet it will be dwarfed by these huge turbines.
We will be running several awareness sessions in the local village halls. Click here for details of time/place and a brief agenda for the meeting. Please do try to attend.
