The officer is recommending approval.
Apparently ignoring the deficiencies in the noise report regarding the timing of data - which the officer tacitly agrees has ignored guidance, but will be revisted in the next week and the fact that the noise data appears at best unrealistic – in that the noise generated by the turbine appears to be 75% less than the manufacturer states !!
The precise impact on the public footpath is unclear – other than to say it should be diverted.
The proposed conditions seem to ignore guidance regarding end of life and the colour of the turbines.
Almost bizarrely the officer seems to acknowledge that there is a risk of golf balls hitting the blades – either accidently or on purpose – the consequences of which should be considered after the event !!
