December 2009

The planning application for the proposed Hyndburn Wind Farm was submitted to Hyndburn Borough Council on 9th December 2009 and was confirmed as being valid on 10th December 2009. Additional copies of the full planning application have been provided to Hyndburn Borough Council in order that they may be displayed at the following venues for the public to review the wind farm proposals:

Hyndburn Borough Council, Scaitcliffe House, Ormerod Street, Accrington - 09.00 to 17.00 hours Monday to Friday

Oswaldtwistle Public Library, Union Road, Oswaldtwistle - Monday 10.00 to 19.00 hours, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 10.00 to 17.00 (Closed lunchtime 12.00 to 13.00 hours and all day Wednesday), Saturday 10.00 to 12.30 hours

Accrington Town Hall, Blackburn Road, Accrington - Monday to Friday 09.00 to 16.00 hours, Saturday 09.30 to 15.30 hours.

The wind farm development could contribute a substantial amount of clean and sustainable electricity to help meet our needs in the face of increasingly significant environmental challenges. In response to our Community Update leaflet we were very pleased that the majority of replies were in favour of the wind farm. We would encourage anyone who wants to demonstrate their support for the planning application to make their views known to the Council. For your convenience there is a letter generating facility on this website - just click on the ‘Support our Proposal’ link on the left and complete your details.
