Planning permission has not yet been requested for the farm but if it is granted, 12 turbines will be erected at a site close to the village of Lilbourne and Junction 19 of the M1.
Applicant Cetis hopes the application will be submitted before Ch
ristmas, but said it was dependent on statutory consultations.
But villagers have formed a pressure group to fight the application, which they said would distract motorists negotiating the motorway junction.
John Hall, a member of Lilbourne Against Windfarm, said: "Our concerns are the proximity to the road and to homes.
"The distance of the turbines will be very, very near both homes and the road, at the legal limit. People are going to see them as they drive along the motorway.
"I don't care what anybody says, drivers will be distracted by them.
"We have had enough accidents there without making it worse."
Mr Hall said residents had been petitioned on the windfarm, with a majority opposed to the plan.
But William Mollett, from Cetis, said: "Reaction from residents has been mixed.
"They are quite close to the M1 and the windfarm is on the other side of the M1.
"We have had a consultation and we're reviewing the layout of the plans because of factors such as bridleways.
"We can't stop people from being fearful because people don't want to trust what we say."
The Lilbourne windfarm is one of a number planned for the area; others are proposed at Yelvertoft and Swinford, on the Leicestershire border.
