Do you need planning consent for a wind turbine, K? |

yes you do. I planted the seed with my few neighbours over the last weekend by asking them about their bills - fortunately all four neighbours are not happy with the increases in their bills so may be persuasive to the idea of a mast if I go that route |

So would you be looking to supply each of the properties from the one turbine or would that not be suffice? I guess if everyone chips in, everyone can share in the benefit. |

I'd like to get a small turbine as a trial - something I can rig up very cheap - I can manage the installation and connection so should keep the costs down - average wind speed around me is 5.5 to 6 m/s so not that high. Have an Anemometer, so will be setting it up at the weekend to check speeds. |

The average wind speed around here depends on whether we had a curry last night or not. |

I guess you're right......I'll do it for free - never done wind turbine before, would be good to get one under my belt so to speak....you just pay for my expenses for the site visit eg petrol etc... |
