Do you have an accurate OS reference where they are are going to be? Then we can decide whether they are too near properties or too prominent.

Well, they are certainly remote enough not to cause anyone noise/ flicker problems. But they seem to be able to break the skyline of Wag hill, but that depends on how high they, Wag is just over 250m and the site you say is 150m above sea level, so from the village they will be very noticeable. I am against them though on account that they will do very little to mitigate the CO2 from conventional power plants. But if they were a community owned windfarm and nobody was bothered then go ahead, make some cash!!

they are going to be about 400ft high and will be right across the view also there are thousands of acres of hill they could go
