AUGUST 2010 - RES TO APPEAL TALLENTIRE WIND
FARM DECISION
The planning application for 6 wind turbines at Tallentire Hill
was submitted in February 2008, allowing plenty of time for
thorough public consultation and for Allerdale Borough Council to
thoroughly assess the application. RES has been working closely
with the Council to answer questions and submit further information
as required, and has now appealed to the Planning Inspectorate to
make a decision on the wind farm proposals.
Now that our appeal has been submitted, the Planning Inspectorate
will arrange for a public inquiry to take place locally, and this
will enable all interested parties to participate in the decision
and to have their views represented, including the Council and the
communities living around the proposed wind farm. We would expect
an inquiry to be scheduled around Autumn time, with a decision
hopefully by the end of the year.
A copy of the planning application, including the comprehensive
Environmental Statement, can be viewed at Cockermouth Library.
