Dear Sirs,
I write to
place on record my objection to the proposed Wind Farm at Gores Farm, Thorney.
My reasons for objection are as follows:
1.
Visual Impact.
The Turbines will be oppressive, over- bearing and totally out of scale and
architectural character with the current surroundings and the unique Fenland
landscape. Shadow Flicker and Reflection will also be unacceptable.
2.
Noise. The
Turbines will create noise pollution and vibration to a currently quiet
setting, especially with the Village being located on the receiving side of the
generally prevailing south westerly wind.
3.
Ecology &
Ornithology. The Turbines will be in close proximity and a threat to the
Nene Washes S.S.S.I. and associated local conservation areas - a site of
international importance for many very rare, threatened and protected species.
4.
Heritage. The
Development and its close proximity to Thorney will have a negative impact on
the character and setting of historic listed buildings in and around the
Conservation Village. Views will be impacted to and from the internationally
important ancient monument of Flag Fen.
5.
Archaeology.
The Development site interferes with the Prehistoric Settlement on Gores Farm.
6.
Public Footpaths. The Development will interfere with and have negative impact upon the
unspoilt rural footpaths used by many local residents to both the north eastern
and southern boundaries of the proposed development.
Please
advise me of future dates when this application will be considered by the
Planning Committee or otherwise.
Yours
faithfully,
