- Its location and height mean it will be visible for miles around. It will destroy the view of the beautiful countryside from Crewkerne, Clapton, Roundham and other surrounding villages.
- It will create a constant whirring noise when in use equivalent to being in a room with a fan turned constantly on. Government ministers advise humans do not live within 1.4 miles of a wind turbine. The whole village of Hewish is within this radius. - Research has shown properties near wind turbines are devalued by between 20% and 40%. - Wind turbines scare horses, and other animals. A proposed new bridle way runs directly next to the site of this wind turbine.
- The construction of wind turbines such as this use such a huge amount of concrete and other environmentally destructive materials that the 'green' benifit is negated.

property values are already bad enough without this nonsense.
The noise is my biggest worry. Living with a constant fan sound in the middle of the night would drive anyone crazy.
HEWISH IS A QUIET VILLAGE AND WE WANT TO KEEP IT THAT WAY. DONT BUILD IT HERE.
Who actually thinks this is a good idea?? 40 metres is way too tall for this area. Keep it away from our homes.
This is going to ruin the look of the whole valley. Nobody wants to look at a metal pole while they are trying to enjoy the countryside.

My horse would lose his mind near that thing. Its a dangerous spot for a turbine if they plan on puting a bridleway right there.
