Bozeat Lavendon Oppose Turbines

covering the villages and surrounding communities of:

Bozeat - Harrold - Lavendon - Warrington - Turvey - Easton Maudit

We are the campaign organisation for the villages surrounding the proposed Windfarm Development by Npower at Nun Wood that will lay across the three counties of Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Northamptonshire and will have an immediate and major impact on the villages of  Bozeat (Northants), Harrold (Beds) and Lavendon (Bucks) along with many smaller villages and communities within the area.

So, just what does a 125m wind turbine look like? - One of sixteen 125m turbines being built at Aikengall, Nr. Oldhamstocks, East Lothian.

Insert shows how they may look at Nun Wood and the zoom in shows workmen in the nacelle; the fluorescent green dots at the base of the turbine are more workmen.

Npower may resubmit their new plans before Christmas 2008.

The “lead” planning authority is now understood to be Bedfordshire Borough Council based on the changes in siting some of the turbines towards Harrold  (the whole development of course straddles the Three Shires Way - the major footpath and bridleway that forms the boundaries of Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire).

With the resubmission of plans for Podington, a little over a mile from this development,  the ongoing saga of “Milton Keynes” windfarm at Petsoe End near Olney (who we are sure will be less than pleased with being called “Milton Keynes”) and the additional 7 turbines going up at Burton Wold near Kettering, you may want to have your say before it’s all too late and we have wall to wall monsters like you can see on the right.

Renewable Rant’s Column

7,000,000 tonnes (yes, 7 million) of CO2 per year expected from the expansion of Stansted Airport. Just how does that square with the rather derisory 68,000 tonnes supposedly “offset” by Nun Wood (with the big assumption that any power station would actually reduce it’s output !) - Aligned government policy or what?

How  tall exactly?
