Support the Westmill Wind Farm
A wind farm of 5 turbines is being planned for an old airfield site
near Watchfield, on the Oxfordshire-Wiltshire border. OxFoE supports of
this plan, as we would like to see renewable energy being generated in
the county. A small but well-resourced group of local people are opposing
the plans, leading to delays in getting planning
permission. However, a new group, WOW - Windpower over Westmill, has
recently been formed by local people who believe in the importance and
need for local renewable energy solutions to tackle global warming.
Latest news - 19 April 2004
The Vale of White Horse District Council Planning Committee decided to
refer the planning application to the Secretary of State to decide the
fate of the more powerful Bonus 1.3MW turbines, while giving the smaller
Vestas 850kw machines the all clear for development along with the small
electrical sub-station. Full report.
