NO NO NO!!! A farmer at Bardon Mill in Northumberland is seeking planning permission for two turbines up to 21.6m high at a site 1.3km from the Hadrian’s Wall Heritage site. The proposal is facing opposition from the local parish council and 27 residents, with concerns voiced over the proximity of the proposed site to the Roman Wall. Yet Northumberland County Council officers are recommending the application be approved at a last night. Campaigner Lynn Carr said: “The World Heritage Site is a very valuable asset for the county. “Many businesses benefit from the trade tourists bring to the area and so that industry has to be considered more important than the renewable energy concerns. “The position of the proposed installation is close enough to the World Heritage Site to have an effect on the tourist trade and ultimately on the local economy. “If permission is granted for this application, I am concerned that more turbines will appear in our beautiful countryside.”
