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,

Take part in the Sue Ryder
Peterborough Midnight Walk
Ladies, it’s time to dig out your trainers and prepare yourself for a night out with a difference!
This year’s women-only walk will take place on Saturday 30 April, starting at the stroke of Midnight. It’s a 6 or 10 mile route around the streets of Peterborough, so you can choose which suits you best. Entry is £15 and you will receive a t-shirt, sponsor form and special Midnight Walk goodies. There will be refreshments along the way and a well deserved breakfast at the finish line.
Why the money you raise is so important
The Peterborough Midnight Walk is one of the biggest fundraising events for Sue Ryder – Thorpe Hall Hospice, raising £250,000 over the last few years. We provide compassionate care and support to people with cancer, multiple sclersis and Parkinson’s disease in Peterborough and surrounding areas, and we need to raise £1 million each year locally so that our specialist doctors and nurses can continue to help people living with serious illnesses.
The cost of a nurse for a day is £120 so by raising this, or as much as you can, you can rest assured that your money will help us continue to provide high quality care to people locally.
A message from Sally Cooke, Ward Sister at Thorpe Hall Hospice
Thorpe Hall Hospice is such a special place to work. It is a privilege to be part of the team that provides a very special care to people affected by cancer, multiple sclerosis, and many other illnesses. With the continuing help of the community, we are able to provide not only medical care, but also emotional and spiritual support for patients and their families at a difficult time in their lives.
We would love to see you there on the night, so sign up now by clicking here to avoid disappointment.
