ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT

Following a comprehensive Environmental Impact Assessment, or EIA, on the site, an Environmental Statement (ES) was produced to accompany the planning application for the wind farm which: outlined the scope of the different studies undertaken; described the methodologies used; presented the results of the studies; predicted the effects of the proposed wind farm on the environment; formulated mitigation measures to reduce harmful effects and enhancement measures to maximise positive effects, and concluded the significance of the effects on the environment.

The ES was available for public inspection at Linton and Fulbourn libraries and at the South Cambridgeshire District Council Offices during the Council's consultation period.

The Non Technical Summary can be downloaded here: NTS (PDF, filesize ~ 2.5Mb).

Subsequent to submitting the appeal against the Council's decision, RES has made the planning application, the ES and further 'Supplementary Environmental Information' available to the public at Linton and Fulbourn libraries and at the South Cambridgeshire District Council Offices. Copies of these documents (except the ES) are available from RES, free of charge while stocks last. Copies of the full ES are available from RES for £125 (printed copy) or £25 (CD copy) while stocks last.
