Why bother ? Well if you want to show that house prices are not affected by having a wind farm nearby you stand a good chance of achieving your objective if you study prices of homes 12 km away. You may even be lucky and be able to prove that if anything the homes 12 km away from a wind farm increased in value at better than the rate for the rest of the region. But it says nothing about homes which will be 1 or 2 miles away from a wind farm or for homes which will have 5 or more 125 metre high turbines within 1 mile of them, which is the case for the proposed Woodlane Wind Farm.

See our interactive map to see where the homes in the Crystal Rig study are relative to that wind farm and see how this compares with the proposed Woodlane Wind Farm. The map shows where the Crystal Rig wind farm site is relative to Dunbar where the house prices were studied. Dunbar is a town with a population of 7700 ( 2006 estimate), in the study it was described as a village for some unknown reason - maybe it spins better. Selby had a population of about 76,000 in 2001. The interactive map allows you to compare the area around Crystal Rig with that around Woodlane Wind Farm. The maps are to the same scale and the wind farm sites are aligned for accurate comparison. The clear conclusion is that Crystal Rig is remote from housing and Woodlane is surrounded by housing, with many homes within 1 km of at least one turbine.
