AT TUESDAY’S planning and rights of way committee meeting, councillors approved three separate plans for wind turbines. The turbines will be built in Tegryn, Nolton Haven and Sageston. Speaking in relation to the turbine that will be built at Tegryn, Llanfyrnach, Daniel Blackburn said: “This will provide extra income for our family. The situation seems to get more difficult as time goes on. “Our farm is part of the farm assured group and we are subject to regular checks. We as a family have worked hard to the point that it is more than just a livelihood for us. “Once again this turbine will be a big help for us in our fight for survival”. Cllr Rod Bowen moved the plans which were approved unanimously. The next turbine discussed was the proposed turbine for Nolton Haven near Haverfordwest. Agent Callum Morris said: “We have worked carefully to ensure this development is appropriately sealed. Costs of farming will be lower and more sustainable for the future. “This will not have an adverse effect on residential amenity or the historic environment. It is vital that agricultural businesses are supported and allowed to diversify. This will also help to contribute to Welsh Government’s targets for renewable energy”. Objecting to the plans, Robin Potter said: “I would like to protest against the proliferation of wind turbines, there are already six or seven in the community. It will be detrimental to the visual impact of the area and there is already existing turbine noise on Marlsborough Farm. “Tests were taken 10 metres away from the turbine – I don’t see how being 10 metres away can provide an accurate reading. The basic information in this report is inaccurate.” Cllr Brian Hall said: “I understand the concerns of the residents, but this application complies with all the policies and I will move the recommendation”. Cllr Jacob Williams asked for the officers to address some of the points made by Mr Potter and it was said that the tests taken were sufficient and appropriate for this application. At this point Mr Potter shouted from the public gallery that he had never been asked about access to his property in order to take the tests. The officer went on to say that it was in line with the guidance of acoustic agreements and the officers were satisfied that the information was robust. The turbine was narrowly accepted by seven votes to five. The final turbine to be accepted will be located to the north of Summerton Farm in Sageston near Tenby. Cllrs were concerned that Carew community council had not responded, but they unanimously voted in favour of the plans.
