Site disclaimer

It is very difficult to visualise what a 400 foot high structure will look like from close by. As an experiment we have tried to produce a series of images with the proposed wind turbines superimposed on them. This required us to take the photographs, to produce a graphic of a turbine and then to superimpose the turbines on the photos. To ensure that the turbines are drawn to scale and in the right position we used reference points to give us height and position. This imposed a restriction on what we could do and required some interpolation but we believe that the pictures are reasonably accurate and show a good representation of what the wind farm would look like from various vantage points, including from inside some of the homes around the proposed site. The reference points we used for height were either the test mast, which the developers told us was 80 metres high, or one of the pylons for which we have used a height of 60 metres. The pylons may actually be a smaller version which is only 50 metres high, in which case the turbines on some of our computer images should be larger than shown.

If you think that any of the photomontages are inaccurate in any way please let us know using the link below. If you know the actual height of each pylon in the area please let us know.

Please be patient and wait for the images to load, some of them are quite large to ensure clarity of details.

Please have a look and let us know what you think.
