Rejected petition Wind Turbine distance from Residential Property

More details

We petition the Government to put a halt on any Wind Turbine planning applications until the "Wind Turbines (Minimum Distances from Residential Premises) Bill [HL] " has been read at the House of Lords.

This would ensure:
If the height of the wind turbine generator is—

(a)
greater than 25m, but does not exceed 50m, the minimum distance

requirement is 1000m;

(b)
greater than 50m, but does not exceed 100m, the minimum distance

requirement is 1500m;

20

(c)
greater than 100m, but does not exceed 150m, the minimum distance

requirement is 2000m;

(d)
greater than 150m, the minimum distance requirement is 3000m.

Honda of the UK Manufacturing are attempting to errect 3 x 120 turbines within 0.5km of residential properties before this bill goes through. If this law was passed, they would not be able to build these 120m within 2km of property.

Please sign to halt this.
