Although not strictly within our area of concern I feel I should point out to readers that Lifton Farm Shop (Strawberry Fields) have submitted a planning application to replace their existing small wind turbine with a much larger version,  a EWT DW54 (500kW) turbine which will have a 77m to tip height).

As you can imagine a wind turbine of this size will totally over power the surrounding countryside being some three times bigger than the existing one.

Full details of the application may be found on the West Devon Borough Councils web site under Planning application 00063/2013.
