The Town Council voted to object to the wind turbine at Burnt House Farm at last night's meeting. The vote was 4-2. Main reason, visual impact. I don't think the planning process did us, or in fact the applicant, any favours, because this only came through about 12 days ago. We had to call a special meeting to discuss it, given the level of concern it has evoked within the community, and I am not sure it gave the applicant enough time to put his case forward. Plus the lack of posted planning notices is worrying? Either way we have also submitted a letter of concern to the planners as to their conduct. We also voted to object to the 33 proposed houses at Slaley Court, this time unanimously. Main reason, over development.
