Wind Farm - Nocton Fen



Vattenfall - Nocton Fen E-newsletter 11

Swinford Wind Farm, Leicestershire
The revised layout in 3D

Last year we wrote to you regarding the redesign of the project layout. The new layout saw a reduction in the number of turbines from 23 to 20. In addition, the overall project area has been reduced by 10%.

A 3D drive through of the layout has been prepared to give you an idea of how the project could look from the villages around the site. Take a look for yourself here.

You can also compare the changes in the old and new layout maps below.

Comparing old and new

Have a look at the maps below. After taking the feedback received into consideration the following changes were applied to the layout:

  • The removal of three turbines, reducing the number of turbines from 23 to 20
  • A reduction in the overall project area by 10%
  • An increased distance between the turbine locations and local communities
  • An increased distance between the turbine locations and the River Witham

Community Investment

We held the first Community Investment workshop last year. The workshop provoked an interesting discussion around the potential Community Investment a project of this scale could provide if it were to come to the area.

Those who attended emphasized the importance of making sure as many local residents and groups as possible have the chance to get involved. To find out more about this work and how you can get involved please click here.

Member of a local group or organisation?

We will be out and about in the local area later this month discussing the project and the Community Investment a project of this scale could bring to the area.

If you would like to find out more please get in touch with us. We would be delighted to meet with you or send you a Community Investment information pack.
