Orton Park Farm, Carlisle

2015 Mr Martin of Orton Park applied for planning permission in Feb 2015 for two more turbines of 86.5m to tip at this site to the north east of the present ones. 15/0141 The Committee rejected the application in August and an appeal has also been dismissed since.

The existing 65 m high Orton Grange turbine, approved by Carlisle City Council in response to planning application 11/0208, was commissioned in April 2013. In the same month, planning application 13/0323 for two 86.5 m high turbines was submitted to the Council. Both these turbines would be within 500 m of the existing turbine so, if they were approved, the three turbines would in effect constitute a three-turbine wind farm.

All of the documents relevant to these applications can be viewed on the Council's planning website by following the relevant link above.

Update. The application was granted permission by the Committee in July 2013.
