The news we have been wishing for arrived 28/06/2012
The Inspector has again refused permission for a wind turbine on the Newlands site!
Please click on the Planning inspectorate logo above for the full decision notice. Inspector Wendy J Burden stated that 'the presence of the wind turbine would be likely to cause overwhelming and intolerable harm to the living conditions of nearby residents'
This news now means that the Fundraising BBQ on Friday 6th July at 7.30pm, Cumwhinton Village Hall, turns into a big celebration! (still fundraising of course!!)

Public Enquiry 29th May 2012 - Civic Centre, Carlisle
9.30am Start - Please come and watch proceedings. The public are invited to make statements if the wish. This really helped us last time as the inspector commented on the show of opposition from local residents.
19th January 2012 - The Developers (Bolsterstone Innovative Energy) have appealed against Carlisle City Council's refusal of planning consent for the erection of a single turbine of 100m (328ft).
This means that a Public Inquiry will be held where an Inspector appointed by The Secretary of State will hear evidence presented on behalf of the Council to the effect that planning permission should not be granted and from the appellant's representatives in support of the proposal. The Against Newlands Wind Farm Action Group has once again been made able to present evidence against the proposal.
Many of you will be familiar with the process from the 2008 application when the application for three turbines was rejected by the Inspector.
The Public Inqiury is set to be held at Carlisle Civic Centre on 29th May 2012 for a period of three days. Please attend where possible.
We need objection letters sent to the Planning Inspectorate before 24th February 2012 (anything later is disregarded). You can ask to speak at the Inquiry if you wish. Full details can be found on the 'How To Object' page in the menu to the left of this text.
Anything related to the 2008 application can be found in the menu
