Welcome to the N.O.W.T North East Cumbria website
N.O.W.T NE Cumbria is a group set up to oppose the Banks Developments Ltd proposal for wind turbines
at the Black Knors, Mossgrove, and Stonechest areas of North East Cumbria.
These wind turbines will be situated close to Bewcastle, Bailey, Stapleton, Roweltown, and Penton.
This area of the Cumbria Borders near to the Scottish Border, Northumberland and not far from
Hadrian’s Wall is a quiet and peaceful rural haven.
Forty 124-metre turbines are being proposed
of which some will be 500 metres from properties,
dramatically changing the area for at least
the next 25 years.
Plans for a Biomass Generator at one of the sites
are of great concern
and will be vigorously fought.
N.O.W.T will endeavour to inform and help
those
with questions about the wind turbines.
Our mission is to stop the wind turbines having any negative effect on the lives of local residents.
Whilst we understand that renewable energy can be of great benefit, this should not be at the
cost of any individual or community.
Planning permision is currently being sought by Banks Developments Ltd for two
monitoring towers,
one 80 metres (262 feet) high and the other 60 metres (196 feet).If these are built,
then objections to the final turbines might be less effective.
To object to these towers, please click here.
Please use this website to find out more about our campaign
and how you can become a part of the N.O.W.T group.
