P-04-533 Environmental Planning for Small Scale Wind Turbine Sites
We call upon the National
Assembly for Wales to ask the Welsh Government to pass legislation to enable
the following planning law. The laws would place conditions on all wind turbine
applications, which do not form part of a commercial wind farm development. 1)
We ask that such turbines shall not exceed 47metres to blade tip. 2) That the
consent of 50% of residents, over the age of sixteen, living within 3Km.of the
proposed site give signed approval of the plan. 3) That all turbines outside
Wind Farm Developments are restricted to an operational period between 06.00
Hrs and 21.00Hrs to protect nocturnal birds and mammals. 4) That public
consultation and written evidence is offered, and supplied to all residences
within 4Km. of a proposed site to comply with the Aarhus convention. 5) All
turbines should be constructed of materials which are 100% recyclable and all
ground works removed at the end of operations.
