The people behind these windfarms have no interest in green energy it's just another way for them to make a quick buck, bugger the landscape up and then move onto their next scam whatever the may be. Enough is enough. Id be supprised if any of the names behind this plan even know where Northumberland is let alone Middle Hill or Elsdon.

Even if wind-turbines could provide reliable, predictable energy, (which they cannot) this would not justify the despoiling of one of the most significant wild landscapes in our very small island. Also, what will happen to defunct wind-turbines once their life-span is ended? Once subsidies are phased out the "renewables" companies will probably not stay around to clear up the mess.

I frequently escape from the South to enjoy the magnificent Northumberland wilderness and scenery. There are few finer places in the UK to cycle than north Northumberland. Developments such as this, proposed and undertaken by individuals with little regard for local factors and concerns, should not be allowed to go ahead and certainly should not be subsidised. Cycling out of Elsdon via Middle Hill is distressing enough without having to confront these eyesores.

This proposal is a disgrace and should be refused. Northumberland has contributed more than any other English county. Enough is enough

This is insane!

Industrial wind turbines only provide part-time, intermittent, unreliable, weather-dependent, wildly uneven power unfit for the modern grid. Plus, they hurt property values and produce intense low frequency noise and infrasound that present a health risk to neighbors. More at www.noturbine.com.

I was going to mover to Northumberland to get away from the wind turbines that are taking over the Scottish landscape. Now where do I go? No one needs wind turbines. They are the end product of one big scam aimed at providing tax payers' cash to land owners, energy companies and those on the receiving end of various brown envelopes. Wind energy relies on the UK weather. If you can't plan a picnic based on the British weather, how can you guarantee energy security with a load of windmills. Kick this and all wind farm developments into touch.

I was in Northumberland last weekend, cycling bridleways and quiet roads. I stopped at one point to admire the view. The only blight was a number of turbines situated towards the coast. Wind turbines are a scam. They're inefficient and just create an eyesore. I had a coffee at the cyclist's cafe in Elsdon and thought the view from outside was just magnificent. This development has got to be stopped.

These things are a complete eysore. I was on top of Broad Law in the Borders and counted over 130 windmills - without optical aid!! A true blot on teh landscape. Please don't let this happen to Northumberland......The damn things are made in China as well...how green is that!

Northumberland already has more than its share of these monstous eyesores and these giant industrial turbines would be visible from most of the national park and ruin one of the last remaining unspoilt wild areas of the county.

this application is wholly inappropriate and must be rejected. We have already met our 2020 renewable obligations nationally and Northumberland has contributed massively and disproportionately. Enough is enough

I'm all for wind farms, but not to the detriment of an area as peaceful and tranquil as this. The Elsdon area is not the right place for a wind farm. Living in the South-east, it is a rare privilege to be able to visit this unique landscape. Please don't spoil it for future generations.

I think that its a shame that anyone can man make an everlasting mark on the landscape, affecting the people that have lived and worked so hard to preserve this wonderful countryside for the sake of money. If they want to make money building these giant turbines let them do it in their back gardens.
