WIND TURBINE PLANNED FOR BRIGG

CLS are seeking planning permission to erect industrial units (Business Office/General Industrial/Storage or Distribution categories) "with associated external works and drainage" - plus a 15KW wind turbine on a 25m high mast - on Europa Way, Brigg (off Atherton Way).
A statement from the agents which accompanies the application says: "The developer, CLS Civil Engineering, intend to involve the nearby Brigg Primary School with the wind turbine and provide opportunities for site visits for children, aiding them in their studies."
The applicants also state: "The M180 motorway runs past the rear of the site. All parking and vehicle manoeuvring areas are located to the front of the building accessed via a new entrance off Atherton Way. The wind turbine will be located along the north east side of the building between the building and boundary fence."
The first stage in the process will be for Brigg Town Council to comment on the application, which then goes to North Lincolnshire planners for a final decision.
A lengthy document about the proposed wind turbine, containing much useful information, can be viewed in the planning application section of North Lincolnshire Council's website.

Lets welcome this renwable energy source .
I don't think wind turbines are a blot on the landscape and this would be in full view from where I live.

Any NIMBYs please feel free to justify your objections.

Well said, gmsmithy.

I got confused and put a posting in the previous comment about the new maths tutor.
