Low Cost Solar Panels

Discovering Low Cost Solar Panels

My neighbour has a wind turbine in the garden, all the neighbours are in close proximity to it?

It is at the back of the garden but it is overlooked by all ajoining properties.I would say it is approx 20foot high and the blades are at least 6 foot in diameter. He previously had one about half this size. Are you allowed to erect these in residential properties or would he need plotting permission. It is an intrusion into every room at the rear of my house and will be unbearable in the summer as it is only a few feet from my garden, making it an eye sore
In answer to all you rightious people who say its excellent for the enviroment, lets hope your neighbours get one. I wonder if your opinions will change then!!
It must be idiots hour in the ANSWERS
I’m glad to see that i’m not the only person who objects to having these monsters in my eyesight. Thanks Mufcdive and Alsison

    maybe you could question him if you could share the wind power. he will need a permit to build it, but to have one on his property is not a problem. I know your frustrations on eye sores.

    View it as a majestic sculpture – after all, there are much uglier things in our neighborhoods than wind turbines. They seem graceful to me and a marvelous solution to how we are trashing the planet. Bravo to your neighbor for taking some positive action. What are you personally doing to ensure there are earth resources left for your grandchildren???

    Build a twenty foot wall, making sure it blocks out the wind.

    I reckon a thirty foot wall would be better just to be on the safe side :)
