Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Colin Pickthall (Labour), on Wednesday, 13 March 1996, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 27 members in total.


WIND TURBINES

That this House, while recognising the value of wind turbines in producing renewable energy, is alarmed at the spread of these structures in areas of attractive landscape, particularly the up-lands of Cumbria and Lancashire; and urges the Secretary of State for the Environment to respond to the Countryside Commission's suggestion that PPG 22 be revised and strengthened to prevent the permanent defacing of many of this country's most attractive areas.
