| Description:
The proposed
development at Sorne Hill consists of 16 no. wind turbines,
60 metre hub height and 70 metre rotor diameter.
The project was on of the first to utilise large scale
deployment of multi megawatt turbines. The site planning
was an integral part of the scheme development and emphasis
was focused on achieving maximum energy capture, whilst
minimising the visual aspects of the scheme.
The practice co-ordinated all aspects of the planning
for the project, from the initial site appraisal to meterological
monitoring and the co-ordination of the environmental
impact statement.
Planning permission was obtained in January 2002 and
construction work is expected to commence on this development
in summer 2004.
