IMPORTANT CAMPAIGN UPDATE - TUESDAY 25TH NOVEMBER 2014 The planning application from Harmony Energy for the proposed 77m (250ft) commercial wind turbine on Barrock Fell has now been validated and is LIVE on Eden District Council's planning website. As you have signed our petition, we would like to ask for just a few more minutes of your time to submit a formal objection on our behalf to the planning department. Here's how: Online: This is the easiest and quickest way to register your objection. Clicking on the following link takes you directly to the specific ‘comments’ page for the Aiketgate turbine planning application: http://eforms.eden.gov.uk/fastweb/comment.asp?AltRef=14/1019&ApplicationNumber=&AddressPrefix=&Postcode=ca4&Submit=Search Simply fill in your details, make sure you select 'Object', type in your reasons for objecting and click ‘Submit’. Email: Email your reasons for objection directly to the planning department at: planning.services@eden.gov.uk. Please note that for your objection to be registered, it must contain your NAME, FULL ADDRESS, and the planning application number, which is 14/1019. By post: Address your letters of objection to Planning Services, Department of Communities, Eden District Council, Mansion House, Penrith, CA11 7YG. Even children’s drawings are valid objections! Just remember to include your NAME, FULL ADDRESS, and the planning application number, which is 14/1019. It carries more weight if you can write your objection in your own words, but if you don’t have time, please fill in and post our proforma, which you can find on our website here. We need to gather as many objections as possible to send a clear message to the planning committee that public opinion is firmly against turbine development in the Eden Valley. We know this is a very busy time of year for everyone, but please spare a few moments to submit your objection and then to share this information with as many other people as possible. If you live locally and can spare some time to help us distribute leaflets and gather proforma signatures, please do get in touch as soon as possible. Thank you for your continued support from all of us here at NO2AWT.
