Wind Turbines Bill 2012

Public bill · Private Member · Presented

The Wind Turbines Bill 2012 would require wind turbines to be a minimum distance from homes before planning permission could be granted, with the distance based on the turbine’s height and size. It aims to reduce visual and noise impacts on nearby residents, but would allow a closer turbine if every affected homeowner agreed in writing.
