How Long Does it Take to Build a Wind Farm?

Anthony Fyson – freelance writer for the UK Royal Town Planning Institute magazine “Planning” this week criticises The British Wind Energy Association for talking about the “falling approval rates” for wind energy projects.

Fyson says “wind power, properly harnessed, is vital to our future and most planners accept the fact. But they are unlikely to be persuaded to act differently on behalf of the frequently divided communities that they serve by the oft-repeated message that they and their system are not good enough.”
