Wind 'Turbine Sprawl' In Wales

"The Campaign for the Protection of Rural Wales (CPRW) urged great caution on hearing of the latest scheme by National Wind Power (NWP) to erect more turbines in the open countryside...Although defined as 'small schemes' i.e. up to three turbines, when those turbines can be 100 metres to the top of the blade, they could hardly be classed as 'small' especially when they are sited on the hills and ridges of Wales. An increasing number of these schemes would create sporadic development in the countryside which would be equivalent to the urban sprawl of the late 1920s that stimulated the establishment of the Land Use Planning System in Britain.
