Brayton Park

A turbine was first applied for on this site in 2010. The original application can still be viewed on the Allerdale website - ref -2/2010/0370. It was refused by Allerdale's Development Panel but eventually granted permission on appeal. However, instead of going ahead with the original proposal, DistGen have now decided to reapply for a different type of turbine. It is more powerful than the orignial 300kw model but DistGen say there will be no increase in overall height although it is wider at the base and top. The reason given for the change of model is that it will allow for the possibility of expansion at Brayton Mill.

Update. The second application was again won on appeal (May 2013) http://www.pcs.planningportal.gov.uk/pcsportal/fscdav/READONLY?OBJ=COO.2036.300.12.6153468&amp;NAME=/Decision.pdf
