P-06-1268 Review the process for pre-assessed status for onshore turbines, which unfairly disadvantages individuals, Correspondence – Interested Third Party to Committee, 03.07.22

Dear Mam/Sir,

I support this petition.

Wind turbine application process in Wales is currently unfit and unfair. Areas suitable for wind farms are assessed by multinational companies that have NEVER even visited the areas. During the application process local people and their knowledge is completely ignored and this makes the process completely inadequate and improper. It feels like lots of these assessments and applications are done in secrecy and come as a complete surprise and shock to local communities. Our areas of outstanding beauty and rich wildlife are potentially destroyed for ever and the local tourism industry will have a massive negative impact.

We need a fairer and more appropriate process.

Kind regards,
