The draft planning guidelines for wind turbines have been made available. Will these new guidelines apply to applications that have already been made? People in the Gneevgullia area, where there is a wind turbine application already in place, are saying that four times the height of a turbine is not enough distance to have between a dwelling and the turbine. In others words, the turbines are still too close. Four times 150 m is only 600 m and that is too near to a dwelling. What are we going to do about that to take it on board? It is very unfair.
