Ventures has been looking at the suitability of developing a new wind farm to the west of Spalding, in the South Holland District. The proposed wind farm will comprise of up to 7 turbines, up to 126m tall and should produce approximately 35 million units of electrical power (kWh) per year, equivalent to the consumption of over 6,500 homes.
The Delph wind farm can play a role in meeting the tough renewable energy targets set by the government, and help tackle climate change.
What stage is the project at?
In October 2011, we submitted a planning scoping opinion application to South Holland District Council in order to set the parameters which would need to be covered in the Environmental Impact Study which will form the basis of the wind farm planning application. We have started the environmental appraisal work, the results of which will be included in our planning application, to South Holland District Council for their scrutiny. Ongoing survey and evaluation study topics will include:
- Habitats and protected species
- Noise
- Landscape and visual impact
- Peat and hydrology
- Archaeology and cultural heritage
The findings of these studies will be made available via our website, and a public exhibition which will be held prior to the submission of a planning application for the scheme. The planning application and supporting documents will also be publicly available once the application has been submitted to South Holland District Council.
