The planning application for the Fenrother windfarm has been officially rejected. Keeping our rural landscape intact required persistent effort and I am grateful to everyone who stayed focused on this goal. We will remain observant as we move forward to ensure our countryside stays protected.

5 large turbines SIX times the height of the Angel of the North  between the A1 and A697 in the small rural hamlet of Fenrother (near Heighley Gate). TWO are OUTSIDE the local plan area for wind turbine search area.  Majority within 850 metres of houses . Turbines are likely to be visible for over 20 miles ! Local residents (except the landowners - persuaded with handsome rewards from turbine companies) are strongly against this - our countryside will be polluted with noise , flicker, house devaluations , animal deaths (studies have shown bats are frequently killed where turbines are located in their habitat) EnergieKontor AEG is a German Company whose UK arm only employs (at the last accounts) under 10 people directly!!!! . If turbines are allowed here they would encourage applications anywhere else in Northumberland - please help us fight to stop our historic landscape being littered by these turbines. More information at www.fightfenrotherwindfarm.co.uk

 PLEASE HELP SAVE NORTHUMBERLAND.

 Offers of assistance gratefully received - please contact the team at [email protected]

We are fighting again the proposal at www.fenrotherwindfarm.co.uk where more specific details may eventually be released by the company

 We the undersigned are opposed to the proposal to place wind turbines within close proximity to Fenrother, Northumberland. We are concerned the adverse effects will be created upon visual amenity, wildlife and habitat, noise, infrastructure and cultural heritage. We do not consider that the proposed benefits of these projects can be delivered either at all or without serious damage to the local community.

Think about the bats and the wildlife too. People forget about the nature that actually lives there. This is just wrong.

NORTHUMBERLAND IS FOR LOCALS NOT GERMAN COMPANIES LOOKING TO MAKE A QUICK BUCK. LEAVE OUR COUNTRYSIDE ALONE.

SIX times taller than the Angel of the North? Are they mad?? This is a quiet hamlet not an industrial site. Stop this now.

Totally unfair on residents living so close. The noise and flicker will be a nightmare for people. Put them out at sea if they really want them.

Keep our landscape clear of this mess. We dont need these massive things ruining the view and devaluing our homes. Ridiculous idea.

Seen enough of these popping up everywhere. Enough is enough. It ruins the whole feel of our beautiful rural area.
