Changes to turbine proposals at Coalclough - new viewing dates
SCOTTISH Power Renewables is hosting a second series of public events ahead of finalising plans to replace its wind turbines at Coalclough, Cliviger, which overlook Cornholme.
The company has submitted its proposals for approval to Burnley Council and says the current turbines are at the end of their working life.
It is proposing to reduce the number of turbines, but the replacement turbines, although fewer in number, will be up to 100 metres high as opposed to the current turbines which are around 60 metres when the blade tip is at its highest, said a spokesman.
The spokesman said the new sessions were being arranged because of changes to the proposed layout of the site, although the number of new turbines had now been further reduced from ten to eight. Initially the company was proposing 12 new turbines and currently there are 22 of the smaller turbines.
The first session will be at Todmorden Town Hall between 3pm and 7pm on Wednesday, July 8, and the second session will be held on Thursday, July 9, between 3pm and 7pm at Cliviger Village Hall.
