West End Farm, Allonby

Application refused May 2014 for the following reasons

1. The Local Planning Authority consider that the proposed turbine, by virtue of its detached and isolated location (and having regard to the weight of objection from the local parish council representations), would form a visually prominent dominant and incoherent feature which would have an adverse individual landscape and visual amenity impact on the surrounding open countryside including the setting of the Solway Coast AONB

2. The Local Planning Authority the proposal by virtue of its size, scale and separation distances frm the properties Edderside Hall, The Stables and The Coach House in Edderside would have an overwhelming, overbearing and oppressive impact on the visual amenity of its occupiers resulting in an unacceptable place to live

3. The Local Planning Authority consider that the proposed turbine, by virtue of its site, size and design in association with existing turbines in the surrounding area would have a deterimental combined and sequential impact on the visula amenity of the surrounding landscape including the setting of the Solway Coast AONB.
