We, the undersigned, object strongly to the proliferation of wind farm and wind turbine projects in the Taw Valley area of Mid Devon – which includes the parishes of Bondleigh, Brushford, Chawleigh, Chulmleigh, Coldridge, Eggesford, Lapford, Nymet Rowland and Zeal Monachorum and hamlets. We are very concerned about the cumulative impact of wind turbines built and in planning and bounded by the wind farms of Batsworthy Cross, Den Brook and Fullabrook. We are all aware of the unsustainable nature of wind turbines in that they only duplicate other means of power generation which have to remain available, in a most inefficient way, to meet demand when the wind drops and the turbines stop turning. Wind turbines do little or nothing to reduce carbon dioxide and other "greenhouse gas" emissions.

The developers behind these projects continue to ignore our concerns while they push to industrialize the Taw Valley landscape. I am currently reaching out to planning officials to demand they justify this destruction but the bureaucratic silence is deafening. They think we will just tire out and go away.

Keep them out of our valley. It is going to ruin the view for everyone living here and the noise is already enough of a nightmare.

Totally agree. They dont even work when the air is still. Just a giant waste of money and space.

Enough is enough. These things are eyesores and completely useless. Stop building them everywhere.
