Households informed of the proposed wind farm adjacent to the M1 just north of Hartwell

The proposal, originally for the erection of a 60m wind monitoring mast to investigate the power generation potential of a site north of Hartwell, comprises of around six wind turbines with a maximum height of 100m to blade tip as well as associated infrastructure such as underground cables, access tracks, an anemometer mast, a switchgear building, drainage ditches, crane hard-standings and a construction compound.

The newsletter aims to make sure the community is kept up to date with Wind Prospect's plans and advertises a public exhibition on Wednesday 1st December at Roade Bowls Club between 2pm and 8pm.

The exhibition will be an opportunity to find out more about the scheme, to offer suggestions and for staff to answer questions.

More information about the proposal is available at www.m1windfarm.com.
