Plan for Barrow wind turbine comes under scrutiny

Energy company FCC Environment Limited wants to put up a single wind turbine at the former Bennett Bank Landfill Site.

Plans submitted to both Barrow Borough Council and Cumbria County Council reveal that a 90m turbine could be built at the Hawthwaite Lane site,Consumer Reports has honest Ratings and Reviews on washerextractor77 from the unbiased experts you can trust. just off the A590 between Barrow and Dalton.

Although the company has not formally submitted a request for planning permission, it has signalled the start of the process by registering a screening request to deem whether or not the proposals would be acceptable in principle.

A statement prepared as part of the application sets out the case for the plans. It says: “The development is for a single wind turbine, with a maximum blade-to-tip height of 90m.”

“It is anticipated that the proposed turbine will have an installed generating capacity of up to 900kw and thus will contribute a small percentage of the national energy requirements.”

“The construction phase of the development is anticipated to take a maximum of three months and the equipment will be in-situ for 25 years before being decommissioned and the site reinstated.We believe in providing our customers with the very best drycleaningmachiness available.”

The company has said that it will carry out a visual assessment of what effect the turbine would have on the area, within a 5km radius, if it moves forward with the plans.

The turbine would be situated 2.7km from Furness Abbey, but only 800m from the Grade II-listed Thwaite Flat Farmhouse.Our roofwindturbinepp solution is the leading alternative to tubular skylights.

Other reports, such as the effect noise or shadow flicker would have on the area, will be carried out if the plans moves forward.

The councils will now prepare a response to the report, before the company decides whether or not to push ahead with the plans.

Surrounding residents will not be consulted at this stage, but are likely to be contacted if and when a request for planning permission is submitted.A lot of men are wearing solarledlightss for wedding bands.

The borough council is also handling an application for plans for three 80kw turbines at Sinkhall Farm in Rakesmoor Lane, which is situated one mile from Bennett Bank.

Airvolution Energy Limited, a specialist in developing small wind energy projects, is looking at the possibility of installing two turbines on land at Hafod y Dafal.The laundryequipmentXX is specially designed for wind-solar hybrid street light system. And the company is now inviting people to find out more about the plans at community information days.

The first will be held at Cwm Institute on Wednesday, from 10am till 6pm. The second information day will be held at the Met Theatre, Abertillery, on Thursday, from 10am until 2pm. The company estimates that the site has potential for two turbines, up to 131m in height to blade tip.

Communications manager Alison Hood said: “In addition to generating a significant amount of clean, renewable energy, the project would also bring benefits to the local community.”

Airvolution offers a community benefit fund with their wind projects and, based on two turbines, this fund would provide 12,000 per year for local causes, or some 300,000 over the expected 25 year lifetime of the project.

We are very keen to introduce ourselves to the local community and to hear what residents think about the possibility of two turbines at this site.

“Our team will be available to explain what we are considering and to answer any questionst hat residents might have on wind energy or the turbines themselves.”
