Details of wind farm plans online
Details of controversial plans to build a wind farm near Yelvertoft in the Daventry district are now available on the project's consultation website.
Visitors to www. yelvertoft-windfarm.co.uk can view and download more than 60 documents that comprise the planning application – submitted by Your Energy Ltd – for the eight-turbine wind farm between Yelvertoft and the M1.
The website includes computer-generated images demonstrating how the wind farm would appear from 29 different viewpoints as well as environmental studies.
An interactive map is also available on the site, giving visitors the chance to see precise turbine locations and see the planned construction transport route which avoids Yelvertoft, Lilbourne and Crick villages.
Charlotte Healey, Development Manager for Yelvertoft Wind Farm, said: "We believe that this is an excellent site to fight climate change through generating significant quantities of much-needed renewable electricity."
Councils are usually required to decide applications within four months, so if Daventry District Council grants planning permission this summer, Yelvertoft Wind Farm could be built by the end of 2010.
