  3. The Turbine is an endurance (think its american) http://www.endurance...o.uk/e3120.html. He originally was going with Bowler energy but now has actually gone with Hallmark Tractor.. It all came down to the way in which they approached the planning side.

    I deal with alot of planning applications for properties and they are a pain in the bum, but these people do the application then have a specalist pull it apart, so that when it goes in they have all the bits likely to be asked for. This means that they cant prolong the decision as the info is already provided. This should mean the application is in and approved before too many people have a chance to object. Its in for planning so we will see. May end up wth a 24m pole rather than 36 but we should get one. Think they are about £280k installed.

    What model number is it. We have planning in for one but not chosen which people to go with

  4. My dad's just put in for one its only going to be 80kw output (rated at 50kw) but we are trying for the 36m mast with the 9m blades so hopefully will get it may have to settle for 24m though....

    If you are interested in them ask the suppliers and they will take you round some sites to listen.. My mum had to go and stand by one and agree to it prior to the order being placed.

    There are a lot of different turbines and make sure you research them first. The quietest ones are the ones which spin the other way, by they i mean the air is not forced into the pole, but sucked from the pole direction. Most noise comes from the gearbox and the sound of the air hitting the mast.

    Who is making your wind turnbine.

  5. only thing i would say mind tim, is dont just go ahead and start building ect ,theres a local farmer down here ,who went ahead bought the thing and has errected it, 40 or 50 m high ,and they turned the planning down, he claims he was told it would be ok hence why he started, currently hes going to spend as much removing it as getting it up, but has re applied retrospectivly again ,doubt he will win mind ,can see his point as across the valley from him is you guessed it a turbine, all be it slightly smaller, but still as visable

    Are the turnbines big round your way?

    We have worked witht he council, we havent started yet as we won to get the planning first

  6. We have planning in for a wind turnbine. It would be a total of 40m right to the top of the blade. The village has strongly objected to the wind turnbine. Its a far way from a village but the a complaning about the noize and the wildlife. The noise isnt very loud and there complaing about the starlings as the stop at the farm, we cant have solar panels as the starlings leave so much s$$t behind we cant even leave the tractors out side.

    Do many people have wind turnbines round them? If so what is the noise like etc?

    This is the same size
