Proceeding contribution from Tobias Ellwood (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 19 November 2013. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Navitus Bay Wind Farm.
Navitus Bay Wind Farm
I am sorry for testing my hon. Friend’s patience; he has been very generous indeed. The guidelines about the distance from the shoreline to the leading edge of the wind farm are important. My concern is that the 12 nautical mile guideline that has been created was designed when wind turbines were only 100 metres high. We are now hearing that these turbines might be as high as 218 metres. They stick up higher, so I suggest that that leading edge—12 nautical miles—should be increased even further to ensure that they are out of sight.
