This page of maps shows safety bands or setbacks from dwellings, roads and paths
400 metres set back has been used as a safety zone for roads and paths
1 km and 2 km stbacks have also been shown for dwellings
These maps show that this is an inappropraite site for a windfarm

The current scoping plan is for a 9 turbine windfarm.
The turbines are represented by the red dots
The roads around the proposed windfarm are shown in brown
Public paths, bridleways and byways are shown in green
   
   
   
   
   
 

With a 400m safety setback from roads and paths
Back to top
A safety zone of 400 metres is shown along roads and paths.
Brown along the roads
Green along public foot paths, bridleways and byways
Only 1 turbine is outside the 400 m bands

With 1 km safety zone around all dwellings
Back to top
With a 1 km setback none of the turbines would be allowed
This is only half the setback recommended by many health studies
Even with this setback this windfarm could not be built.

With a 2 km safety zone around all dwellings
Back to top
2 km is the setback recommended as a result of several health studies
If this responsible setback was applied this windfarm could not be built
