    Default wind farm

    just heard folks living beside spittalhill are really worried about the noise factor as the government has only done tests up to the height of 90 ft.
    the ones on spittal are 360ft.thats 28 of them 2 others a bit smaller .these turbines are over 30 ft bigger than causeymere.
    did see 2 men in wick and thurso promoting them standing in the cold they did not sound local.
    If u should like to support the opposition go to htpp://www.spittalwindfarmopposition.co.uk

    What's the nearest distance to a property that is inhabited?
    God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
    Courage to change the things I can,
    And wisdom to know the difference.

    Well, looking at the 'Planning Application Boundary' parts of Spittal village are about 50 metres away - edge of 'revised' area the turbines are 1 km from the village?

    1 km? Will that be a problem?
