Naseby wind turbine threat?
4 March 2008
The Battlefields Trust has learned that E-ON is investigating the possibility of selecting a site for wind turbines close to the registered battlefield of Naseby in Northamptonshire. They are looking to develop 7 or 8 turbines on the south side of the A14 at Tallyho Covert within two miles of the Naseby battlefield. Typically, the turbines would have a hub height of around 70m and a blade diameter of 90m (ie they would stand to a maximum height of 135m, and would be at about the 170m contour and visible from across the registered battlefield). At present E-ON are only scoping; it is hoped that they will not proceed with a formal planning application now they know about the affect on the historic environment assets. Both English Heritage and the Battlefields Trust have objected to this site being used.
