Renplan have secured planning permission for a 80kW wind turbine at Haydon Farm, North Cornwall. Being ‘theoretically’ visible from the Coastal Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the North Cornwall Heritage Coastline, the planning application had to carefully consider the landscape impacts of the proposal and the importance of protecting local residential amenities whilst balancing these against the need to ensure suitable site conditions to maximise the harnessing of the average wind speeds of the farm.
