Summary of site

Cornwall Light and Power is applying for planning permission to install a single wind turbine on land at High Down, Redland.

The proposed scheme will consist of one turbine with a capacity of up to 1.3 Megawatts. The new turbine would have a hub height of up to 50 metres and a tip height of up to 80 metres, and will offset over 1,154 tonnes of CO² emissions every year of its anticipated 25 year life span.

If the proposed scheme is approved, each year the turbine will generate the equivalent energy required by 550 local homes.
