Dear Trowelhead,
We have been doing quite a bit on these at the moment and there is appropriate legislation that frames the varied questions with regards to negative impact, inparticular:
ZTV Assessment: the Zone of Theoretical Visibility (ZTV) assessment is undertaken where âvisual effect will be dependant on the distance over which a wind farm may be viewed, whether wind farms can be viewed adjacent to other features, different weather conditions, the character of the development and the landscape and nature of the visibilityâ (Planning Advice Note 45 (Rev 2002): Renewable Energy Technologies). The ZTV Assessment will involve the consultation of a number of existing datasets, namely:
· World Heritage Sites
· Scheduled Ancient Monuments
· Listed Buildings
· Conservation Areas
· Parks and Gardens
· Battlefield Sites
You probably know all this already and were just venting your spleen, but if not this stuff is useful stupid legislation to use against stupid clients.
