STOP Haversham Windfarm

*The above photo shows Petsoe End near Olney taken from six miles away to demonstrate the impact on local countryside. It is NOT a photomontage intended to represent the appearance size or scale of the proposed site at Haversham.

The Stop Haversham Wind Farm Action Group is campaigning to protect the historic villages of Haversham and Little Linford from plans to site an industrial wind farm in our community.

German company RWE Npower plan to site FIVE giant turbines, almost the height of the London Eye, close to homes and ancient woodland. The 127m (417ft) high turbines would dominate the skyline across Milton Keynes and beyond, dwarfing Bucks landmark Hanslope Church at just 55m (180 ft) high.

The proposed site is close to Little Linford Wood, Swan's Way and Linford Lakes bird sanctuary. These popular rural amenities are enjoyed by residents across Milton Keynes and home to many species of wildlife.

MK Council demand more information from RWE Npower!

Milton Keynes' Planning Department have issued RWE Npower with a Regulation 22 Letter. This means MKC believe that insufficient information has been provided in the Environmental Impact Statement for the Haversham Wind Farm application to be properly considered.

RWE Npower will now be given time to provide the additional information required. This is likely to result in a delay, but at this stage we do not know how long. Keep watching this website for news, or register as a supporter by clicking here so that you receive our email updates.

CONSULTATION CLOSED RE CHANGE IN MK WIND TURBINE POLICY
Milton Keynes Council have been consulting the public on a change to the distances allowed between wind turbines and houses, bridleways and footpaths. We are waiting to hear the outcome of the consultation which closed on 28 March 2012. Hopefully this process will result in a policy which ensures residents and visitors are protected from any harmful affects from proximity to industrial wind turbines.

There is still time to objection to RWE Npower's PLANNING APPLICATION (Milton Keynes Council ref. 11/02028/FULEIS). Go to Planning Status to see updates or click How to object? for more information.
