Carland Cross Wind Farm Action Group

Welcome to RATS
(Residents Against TurbineS)

the Carland Cross Wind Farm Action Group

Appeal Hearing will be on 14/15 October
ScottishPower asked for its appeal to be considered by written representations which would have denied us the chance to put our case in person to the Planning Inspector. We felt strongly that this would be wrong. In view of the significant local concerns, we and Cornwall Council believed a hearing or inquiry would be the only appropriate way to proceed and The Planning Inspectorate has agreed with us: the Appeal will be considered at an Informal Hearing to be held in Truro on 14/15 October.

RATS is preparing to submit documents to the Planning Inspector and anyone else wishing to make submissions must do so by the 15 July deadline.

If you would like more information please see The Planning Inspectorate’s very good
‘Guide to taking part in planning appeals’ or call Steve Bazeley 01872 540348.

On shore wind turbines cause serious problems for our communities and countryside, and are inefficient and poor value for our taxpayers’ money. There are better forms of low-carbon energy in helping the UK resolve its more fundamental energy problems so RATS opposes onshore wind turbines generally and those at Carland Cross specifically.

ScottishPower has applied to 'overhaul' the Carland Cross wind farm by more than doubling the height of turbines to 100 metres (328 feet) and trebling the area with a completely new second site including service roads and other infrastructure over Newlyn Downs and adjacent farm land.

The aim of our wind farm action group website is to inform you about wind energy to help you decide whether the Carland Cross wind farm should be ‘overhauled’. We live in a democracy and your views and vote will count.

Help us nail the lie.
