Local Windfarm Groups

Sixpenny Wood - Sixpenny Wood is the closest proposal to the Spaldington proposed development. These turbines would be clearly visible from Eastrington in particular After planning was rejected by ERYCC the case was taken to appeal. The appeal was heard in November 2009 and at the time of writing (5th December 2009) we are waiting for the decision

Selby Area
There are a number of proposals for the Selby Area some of which will be visible from the Spaldington Area.
Plans are in the pipeline for 14 turbines at Wood Lane near West Haddlesey, seven near Hambleton and nine near Byram. Added to those are applications for a 15-turbine Pollington plant and five more at Cliffe, as well as an already-approved development near Rusholme.
