UNDER THREAT!
The publicly owned Burton Dassett Country Park is facing a massive impact on the quality of its unrivalled views
Below is a photo-montage of the turbines as seen from Burton Dassett Country Park.
This is as accurate as possible from the information available.
Burton Dassett Country Park is a real jewel in the South Warwickshire Crown
(BBC)
“Unspoilt, rolling hills – the magnificent views from these hills are breathtaking”.
(Warwickshire County Council)
The London Developer put in an application for an Anemometer Mast in 2009. This was rejected by the local Planning Authority (Stratford District Council). The developer then appealed to the Planning Inspectorate in early 2010, who agreed with the local Council and also rejected the application.
The vast majoriy of the local residents do not want this mast (or the subsequent turbine application), the parish councils do not want it, the district council do not want it, the county council does not want it and the Planning Inspectorate agrees with us all that this is not appropriate at this location. How many more people have to say NO before the developer takes note?

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Remember, this is an application for the “Met” Mast and strict planning guidelines apply. You must only object to relevant planning and not say things like ” I object because I do not want the turbines” as his is not a planning application for turbines.
Here are some standard paragraphs you may wish to use:
I am writing to OBJECT to the above proposal (10/01805/FUL ) for the following reasons :
The construction of the meteorological mast would impact on the landscape, so close to the Burton Dassett Country Park. . The mast would be difficult to ignore with its high visibility markers on some of the 28 guide-wires and it would be impossible to minimise its visual impact from the high vantage point of the Burton Dassett Country Park. One of the key attractions of the Country Park for its 65,000 annual visitors, is the uninterrupted 360 degree vista of Warwickshire, which would be seriously threatened by the erection of the mast at this particular location.
I fail to understand why Broadview Energy are declaring the use of PPS22 for a meteorological mast, which taken in planning terms in its own right, produces no energy and is therefore an irrelevant argument.
I am led to believe that the proposal is contrary to the Stratford District Council’s own policies, PR1, PR6 and CTY1, which states that all forms of development in the countryside will generally be resisted, if in order to preserve its character and appearance.
I am aware that the four local Parish Councils of Burton Dassett, Gaydon, Bishops Itchington and Fenny Compton involved in this site, together with the local District Councillors, Warwickshire County Councillor and our local MP, are all with good reason opposed to this application.
For generations this easily accessible park has been considered an important Warwickshire resource for experiencing some of the most unrivalled vistas over the County.We feel the very close proximity of this high impact development and the subsequent loss to Burton Dassett Country Park of its primary amenity would be totally unacceptable.
NEWS:
These monsters can also be seen from the Cotswolds – defined as an “Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty”.

This is a view from a listed iron age hill fort which is part of a lay-by on a public road . There are virtually no other opportunities than here for a vista experience owing to the wooded nature of the hill side. The distance from camera to turbines is 3.9 miles.
