Wind farm data collection completed

Research has been carried out to establish the type of turbines which should be used if the South Dale wind farm on agricultural land close to Hunmanby, near Filey, is built.

A test mast which has been used to collect the data will now be taken down by the middle of this month, before officials from Banks Renewables decide on the next course of action.

The firm’s development director, Phil Dyke, confirmed “work is progressing” and maintained onshore wind farms are vital to addressing the nation’s energy needs, despite widespread opposition over concerns about the impact on landscapes.
