You can help save Devon from wind turbine developments by opposing all current applications.
There are a variety of standard objection letter templates on this page, or you can write and submit your own. You do not need to live within the local area to oppose a planning application, and every opposition letter counts. Each member of a household can send a separate letter too, each opposition letter is registered separately, as long as it’s signed and dated. The more opposition letters a planning application receives the better.
Please let your friends and relatives know about this site too, it’s important that people have access to the full story alongside access to credible, independent research backing that information up.
Guidelines for objecting to wind turbine developments and sample letters of objection
If you would like to help save North Devon please make your voice heard.The more people that submit letters of objection the more likely we are to have planning applications refused. We should object to all wind turbine developments, not just those that are local to us, wind turbine developers are clever in that they apply for planning permission within small communities that are often unable to muster enough objection letters to have an application refused. We want to save North Devon, please help us by downloading and submiting an application letter for each current wind turbine application.
