Public Consultation: Proposed Wind Turbine at North Farm, Thorpe-le-Street, East Yorkshire

Hedley Planning Services are submitting a planning application on behalf of Mr Richard Morely for the repowering of an existing turbine on land at North Farm, Thorpe-le-Street, YO42 4LJ. The application will entail the replacement of an existing turbine on site with a new model.

The proposed turbine will measure 89.9m (tip height) and be situated within the same field as the existing model (Co-ordinates: 53.887196, -0.73194936). The proposed turbine will have capacity to generate up to 1MW of energy, which will not only significantly reduce the farms carbon footprint but also enhance onsite energy security. Furthermore, within the current economic climate, the diversification of energy generational and usage will ensure the long-term sustainability of a local business. The existing access will be utilised for installation and maintenance purposes.

To support a planning application technical documents, such as: landscape, ecology and noise are being prepared to reduce any potential impact upon the immediate and wider setting.
