- Comment
- While there already is a consent in place for 3 turbines at this location, those turbines are only about half the size of the proposed ones. Even small numbers of wind turbines can have a huge impact, especially if they are tall and especially if they are in areas with no or very few other turbines yet. They will most likely require red lights on the hub regardless of what the application might say (Camster II had a consent for infrared lights and is now built with red and red flashing lights) and will thus disrupt the dark sky, and they will function as a seed for a new cluster of developments.
