Proceeding contribution from Philip Hollobone (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 October 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Department of Energy and Climate Change.
Department of Energy and Climate Change
My constituents support renewable energy. We have a wind farm at Burton Wold with 10 turbines, soon to expand to 17 and possibly to 24 in future. It supplies between a quarter and a third of the houses in the borough of Kettering. What local residents do not want is loads more wind farms all over the countryside, but five planning applications are coming through. What mechanism exists for local authorities to support a wind farm in their locality without feeling pressurised into giving permission for all the applications that come along?
