Notes
General
- The maps are to the same scale.
#1
The site for the Crystal Rig wind farm is remote, uninhabited moorland
fells. The site is 12 km or 7.5 miles from Dunbar. According to
the owners of the site "The turbines are hidden among the hillsides."
#2
There are less than 10 thousand people living in Dunbar, the villages
shown around Dunbar are at most a few houses, many are just one
or two houses..
#3
The area shown around Woodlane has a high urban population. The
total in the area shown is about 100 thousand people, versus virtually
none in the corresponding area around Crystal Rig.
#4
Many homes in the Woodlane proposal will have more than one turbine
within one mile of them. Some homes have turbines within half a
mile. At Crystal Rig no home is within a mile of a turbine. It is
unlikely that any home in the house price survey at Dunbar was within
5 miles of the wind farm.
#5
For more information about the Crystal Rig wind farm visit the owners
web site at http://www.fredolsen-renewables.com The photograph of
the Crystal Rig Wind farm is from their site and shows the open
moorland aspect. The turbines are 100 metres high - 60 metre masts
with 40metre long rotor blades.
