Sheep graze in a field parallel
to the turbine site at Beech Farm
The
proposal was for
two 1.3 MW turbines, 230ft high (70.1m) on land at Beech Farm,
Lamerton, near Tavistock, close to Brent Tor.
This was the
second proposal, an
earlier application had been refused. The applicants had appealed, but
then withdrawn their appeal before the Public Inquiry.
It was
turned down by West Devon
Borough Council, but the developers appealed again. The Public Inquiry
started in April 2006 at Tavistock but was adjourned until October.
On Saturday`s walk I also passed through Lifton. There are no live applications here, but there was a previous application for 5 x 5kw turbines (time expired)
