The character of the site
The site is on a diversified farm with a golf course and caravan park. It is open land in close proximity to Bishopwood which is the habitat for a wide range of local wildlife including raptors which nest there. The site is alongside the East Coast mainline.
Visual Impact
The turbines which are higher than Ferrybridge cooling towers would dominate the area and be visible from miles around.
