WIND TURBINE AT LONGFRAMLINGTON

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Hedley Planning Services has secured approval for a new wind turbine to be erected on land to the north east of Longframlington as part of a scheme by land owners Mr and Mrs Ness to generate enough energy to power their own home and reduce their carbon footprint.

Approval for the Britwind R900 turbine, which has been designed specifically for rural homes and farms, and is one of the UK’s most popular small-scale windmills, will provide up to 5kW of power for the Harrogate Cottages site.

Extensive noise and ecological impact assessments were also undertaken as part of research completed by North East planning experts Hedley Planning Services to confirm the site was a suitable source for a renewable energy project.

Amelia Robson, senior planner at Hedley Planning Services, said: “We are delighted to secure planning permission for this exciting project and very much look forward to the plans coming to fruition. Harnessing the wind is an efficient way to supply clean energy for people like Mr and Mrs Ness who live in rural locations. We expect to see more applications coming forward as people continue to see the advantages and plug in to greener energy solutions.”
