Letters of Objection to SNDC |
|
This is the tranquil scene currently available to all making use of the public footpaths and bridleways around the New Road / Patten Lane area of Tivetshall St Mary and is the area chosen by walkers, horse-riders and visitors to St Mary Church ruin for obvious reasons. It is also the site chosen by Enertrag for the erection of 3 x 140m high wind turbines. TAG wishes to preserve this scene and facility as it is for the continued enjoyment of local residents and prolific wildlife without the addition of an industrial and over-powering back-cloth.
Please help us to fulfil this aim; to prevent Enertrag gaining planning permission for this unwanted development on land either side of Patten Lane, Tivetshall St Mary and being just 800m in front of Grade II* listed St Mary Church ruin. A Tivetshall resident has kindly produced a scale animation which indicates clearly the impact that these 140m high turbines will have on our landscape - follow this link to TURBINE ANIMATION. Further animations can be seen via the Gallery page / Simulations.
It is crucial that as many people as possible record their objections addressed to Ms Helen Mellors of South Norfolk District Council Planning Dept., (e-mail:
This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
) objecting to this turbine development proposal now that Enertrag (UK) Ltd.,have had their formal application for planning permission registered (02/06/10). TAG has distributed a leaflet to all surrounding households to advise residents to write with their objections to this development and provides all necessary references, assistance and procedures for objectors to make use of. Download leaflet now. So far (25/06/10) some 200 objections have already been logged by SNDC. There is still time to have your voice heard and SNDC will accept your letters until the end of July - so please get to it and write on our behalf.
TAG supporters are also encouraged to contact their local Parish Council to express their opposition as Councils will be invited by SNC to communicate their opinions for or against this proposed development within the statutory Consultation process. For contact details please refer to the "Contacts - Useful Information Links" page on this website.
In the mean time, TAG supporters are encouraged to write to SNDC concerning the TCI turbine application (Planning Ref: 2010/0383) proposed east of the A140 just 1km from some Tivetshall St Mary residential property. Refer to 4V website for further information.

Enertrag Quotes -v- TAG Facts |
|
Enertrag (UK) Ltd., and its management team is not renown for its honest and open approach in its objective of developing windfarm opportunities throughout Norfolk. Members of action groups involved in development proposals at Guestwick and Hempnall know this well, and we at Tivetshall are learning fast.

We have added a link to the “4Villages” web site which carries information provided by our neighbouring Action Group, 4V, fighting similar wind farm development proposals on the old Pulham airfield (Vaunces Farm) site by developer TCI and another land-owner under 2km east of the Tivetshall proposal. Yes, wind farms are contagious!

Blimp Flight Explanation
TAG Blimp (balloon) Flight 3rd July 2010
Subject to suitable weather conditions on the day TAG will be flying a helium filled blimp at the 140m height of the proposed turbines at the development site adjacent to Patten Lane, Tivetshall (by courtesy of the land-owner and tenant). CAA approval has now been confirmed. This will provide the opportunity for all living around the development area to see for themselves what impact these machines will have on our landscape. The flight will commence at 3.00pm on Saturady 3rd July and be lowered by 9.00pm. Hope to see you there.
Please keep your letters of objection coming. SNDC will accept all such letters until the end of July 2010, so please add yours to the 200 already submitted by TAG supporters.
