Support Hockerton Housing Project wind turbine. PDF Print E-mail
Some of you may know of or have visited Hockerton Housing Project.  Well they have just written to me asking us to urgently support their application for a 225kw wind turbine.  The turbine will be community owned and will generate enough energy to supply the whole village of Hockerton.

 

A full planning application can be viewed below: 
 
Application number is 07/01578/FUL and letters of support can be sent via E-mail to: planning@nsdc. info  (FAO Ms Christine Fitzpatrick)
 
or sent to her via post to:
Planning, NSDC, Kelham Hall, Newark Nott's NG23 5QX.
 
Suggested letter of support:
 
Dear Ms Fitzpatrick,
 
With reference to planning application 07/01578/FUL
 
I fully support the above planning proposal for the Hockerton parish wind turbine.  This application will mean that Hockerton becomes carbon neutral and I believe it is an extremely positive step in the nations fight against climate change.
 
This important proposal will mean that Hockerton plays a radical part in not only reducing it's CO2 emissions (in line with government targets) but also helps reduce their dependence on fossil fuels and dangerous nuclear energy.  I sincerely hope that this application is approved and that other parishes across the country will follow in Hockerton's footsteps.
 
Tackling climate change is now a matter of great urgency and we must approve of and support the hard work of the community in Hockerton - they are to be commended for their plans and commitment to sustainability.  This community is a credit to Nottingham.
 
Yours sincerely,
(name and address)
