This is a heartfelt request for support in opposing an application for a wind farm consisting of six 100 metre turbines on open countryside east of Kendal. You can see the plans and object to them here.
URGENT - proposed Armistead Wind Farm, Cumbria
This wind farm application has now been made and responses should be in by May 19th. Most notably the proposed development will be highly visible from both Lambrigg and Caton Moor wind farms and is right on the boundary of the land currently being considered by Natural England as an extension to the National Park. While not being rugged and spectacular like much of the Lake District, the area is a beautiful, totally unspoiled area of moorland and rolling fell with marvellous views in all directions across Morecambe Bay, the Lakes, the Howgill Fells and the western hills of the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
If anyone feels able to object it will be much appreciated, and could help preserve an unspoilt part of England.
We are mounting a massive local campaign.
Many thanks
