Small Wind Generators Planning Permission – Jonathon Dimbleby’s Story
<< Small Wind Generators Designed For Rooftops Turning Conventional Thinking On It's Head Small Wind Generators Blow Strong Despite Recession >>
Getting planning permission for small wind generators is one of the hurdles that is becoming progressively easier to overcome.
In the above article, Jonathon Dimbleby said that although his neighbours opposed the installation of his turbine, now it’s up the have relaxed. This is a positive indicator that shows that the general public are slowly starting to see the benefits of the small wind turbine in local communities.
Here’s an exerpt:-
“All I can say is my wind turbine is up and it is turning rapidly and producing well in the current winds,” he said yesterday. “There were a few local objections originally, but now it is up, many people are enthusiastic about it and have come up to have a look.
“It’s one of those things that, once it is up, people relax. I think there should be one in every community.”
The main topic of the story is good news for farm owners and those on industrial estates, but unfortunately this does not help home owners who need turbines the most.
Let’s hope that with time these relaxed planning laws for turbines will be adopted across the board.
