Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to register my objection to the construction
of a wind turbine at the site of the above application.
You will already have a list of my objections to the other
6 proposed wind turbines in Sellindge, and all of my comments there stated
apply to this application.
In addition, I would like to add that Sellindge Parish
Council seem to have accepted this proposal because they were under the
impression that the turbine was intended to provide electricity for the sole
use of the farm business of Mr Price. I am not completely familiar with
the details of how much electricity the turbine would produce, but I would
have thought that a farm of this size would not need a generator of such
height.
Perhaps the planning officers have details of Mr Price's
past electricity bills, and compared them with the estimated power generation
of the turbine he wishes to have installed.
If there is little difference, then I feel that the upset
to the local community would be completely unjustified. I would hope
that the farmer would not wish to avail himself of any financial gain
following the installation, as he has already publicly stated that he does
not like to have to rely on subsidies.
These turbines are a new technology, and the long term
effects upon the mental and physical health of those residing nearby could be
threatened. Certainly the mental health issues caused by the worry that
the council will approve these monstrosities, is already being damaged.
Other councils around the country are taking a democratic approach when the
community affected objects, and I see absolutely no reason why Shepway should
do things differently.
