Missed this one somehow.
Looks like there’s another wind turbine planning application at the IWC.
This one (ref: TCP/29699, P/00176/09) is on “land at Span Farm, Rew Lane, Ventnor, Isle Of Wight PO38” and was published on 12 June 2009.
The planning application details that we can access say that the rotor would have a 30m diameter and the hub (ie middle) would be at the height of 3151m (looks like a decimal place being misplaced here, as that would make it close to two miles high!).
All comments need to be in by 3 July 2009 – so you’ve got two days left.
There were 13 comments when we looked yesterday.
Details currently unavailable
You could have a look at the details yourself, but the Isle of Wight Council Web site is unavailable and so it the IWC planning site.
UPDATE: More details are now available, now the IWC planning site is available again.
Wind turbine
The wind turbine is made by Wind Energy Solutions and is a WES30 Mk1 which is rated at 250kW.
The details on the planning application are pretty illegible, but the WES Web site has clear details on it.
