Plan for holiday homes near proposed Newton Marsh Windfarm
A PLAN for holiday cottages has been revealed – just metres away from where a major windfarm is proposed.
Paul Cullen, owner of Braybrook Farm, in Newton Marsh Lane, Tetney, wants to turn two converted outbuildings into holiday accommodation.
The site will neighbour land earmarked for Newton Marsh Windfarm, which includes eight 115m turbines.
According to developer Dieter Nelson Planning Consultants, Mr Cullen has not been put off by the nearby application.

Mr Nelson said: "Mr Cullen was fully aware at the time of making the application of the windfarm development and he doesn't think it is a significant issue. There is no hard evidence that such a development can have a detrimental impact on tourism.
"The client has done his market research and despite this being in the pipelines, he is keen to press on with the application."
As reported, Thorpe Park owners, Bourne Leisure have joined forces with campaigners of Marsh Windfarm Action Group (MWAG) believing the farm, which can be seen from the Cleethorpes holiday park, could impact on trade.
The application is to change the use of the converted outbuildings, which are currently empty.
Mr Nelson said: "These buildings are not doing much from a domestic perspective, so the client is looking to diversify and he thinks a holiday cottage is a viable end of use for them."
A decision is due on Tuesday, January 15.

“If they can get them up before the turbines, surely the risk assessment for the turbines will need to be revisited!!!”

Just putting to one side for a moment the fact that they are seldom generating meaningful energy, there follows some sobering images and a video of potential danger of debris, ice and fire spread. It would be folly to build near to these hazards surely?
These must see images below suggest proximity to any wind turbine is hazardous! It beggars belief that planning permission could be granted, or even more unbelievable that anyone would want to live near them. The first accident would reduce the value of any property to zero!

“Lets be sensible. Build the cottages forget an expensive Never do a thing except cost wind farm.
The wind at the moment would yield One eighth power from the wind farm if it were there. 12.5% Where would the other 87.5% come from. Drax of course Fossil fuel. Wind is an expensive bust.”
