REG SCOPING TO EXTEND HIGH POW WIND FARM!
REG have finally submitted a request for a scoping opinion with the intention of extending High Pow Wind Farm. We have been expecting this since it was announced last year that REG had purchased Your Energy's interest in the Little Waver site which is adjacent to the existing wind farm at High Pow. The submission of a scoping request is simply a means of asking the Council exactly what information will be required in the full application. It would appear that the application, when it does arrive, will be for up to seven turbines in addition to the existing three. So there can be no question that this would be a major development. If you would like to look at the scoping request, please follow this link:
Comments can be submitted even at this early stage and we are currently in the process of preparing a response from FORCE as an organisation. We welcome individual comments too but it is fine if you prefer to wait until the full application arrives. At that stage, we will be encouraging every member to object to the extension of this wind farm which is already bringing misery to its neighbours.

An End of Year Update
We learned this year that REG, the operator of the existing High Pow Wind Farm, has purchased Your Energy's interest in the Little Waver project. We can only conclude from this that the application, when it does materialise, will take the form of an extension to High Pow which occupies land adjacent to the Little Waver site. No formal plans have yet come forward for further wind energy development at this location. It wouldn't be the first time, of course, if an application were suddenly to appear over the festive season! We will continue to monitor the situation and will update this website as soon as we become aware of any change in the situation.
In the meantime, it is true to say that we have enjoyed a fair level of success this year and that our councillors have been persuaded to refuse a number of inappropriate applications for single turbines in the area - not least among them the Lane Head turbine at Boltongate. Please see relevant page on this website.
Inevitably some of these decisions have now been taken to appeal by the developers and applicants' agents. It is vitally important to demonstrate to the Planning Inspectorate that we care about the situation which is unfolding in this Borough. Please visit our latest news page to see how you can help fight these appeals. To make a comment on an appeal isn't difficult and will only take a couple of minutes. It could make all the difference to the final outcome.
