Subject: Planning application for wind farms Y12/0451/SH
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to register my opposition to the
building of 6 wind turbines (see above) in Sellindge.
My reasons for objection are that they are
unsightly, inefficient, and will cost the community many problems not
only during their construction. They are costly to maintain, and
are a danger to low flying aircraft and wildlife. This is not a proven
efficient green way to produce electricity. They will become
defunct when the nuclear power stations are built and re-commissioned at
Dungeness/Lydd. When they are of no further use, the turbines will
be phenomenally expensive to dismantle and dispose of the waste.
They are a blemish and a depressing sight to the
communities around them, all for no good economic reason other than that people
who allow them to be built on their farmland will receive huge subsidies for
this to come about. The firms who manufacture them (mostly foreign
companies) and the companies who install them, will of course benefit, at the
cost to local communities. The cost of dismantling them will be born in
time by the taxpayers, who are also the people paying for them to be built in
the first place. To allow this planning application to go ahead would be
unthinkable to anyone who has thought this out. If allowed to go ahead,
this application will be a case of “much pain, no gain” for our community.
Yours sincerely,
