Cornwall Light & Power Wind Farm Exhibition: Dates Released

Cheverton Down: Island's First Big Wind Farm Site? (Podcast)Cornwall Light & Power have now officially released details of an exhibition planned for next month where they intend to put forward proposals for the wind power project at Cheverton Down near Shorwell.

The exhibition takes place at four different locations across the Wight, enabling people to every corner access to the proposals.

The new application, a collaboration between Cornwall Light & Power and Vestas will be for three modern machines, which we’re told would generate ten times more electricity than those originally approved back in 1993.

Steve Allen, Development Manager at Cornwall Light & Power, said:

“We are extremely keen to hear people’s thoughts on our revised plans for the wind cluster at Cheverton Down. The Island’s views and opinions on our proposals will be invaluable to us in the preparing a planning application for consideration by the Isle of Wight Council.”

The public exhibition schedule is as follows:

Wednesday 3rd September (3.30pm – 7.30pm), Shorwell Parish Hall, Shorwell

Thursday 4th September (5.30pm – 8pm), Wilberforce Hall, Brighstone

Friday 5th September (12noon – 8pm), Riverside Centre, Newport

Saturday 6th September (10am – 2pm), West Wight Sports Centre, Freshwater
