WELFORD WIND FARM

27/11/2024 UPDATE

Email from the developer, Naseby Energy, on Welford Wind Farm proposals following the public event in South Kilworth Village Hall on 11^thNovember.

‍

Since we launched our consultation on the Welford Wind Farm we have received a lot of feedback, both in person and in writing, and it’s clear we need to take careful stock of this as we further develop the detail of the proposals.

Whilst we had a programme which included another public event on 12^thDecemberat Welford Village Hall (and attending meetings with various parish councils in the next couple of weeks), we have decided that it would be most beneficial for all parties if we took a bit more time to consider how to respond to local views before we continued the discussion.

We will therefore be rescheduling the forthcoming event on 12^thDecember and our attendance at the parish council meetings (including theSouth Kilworth Parish Council meeting on Tuesday 10^thDecember) and will be back in touch again soon with an update on nextsteps and when we will be ready to provide you all with the further detail you need. We’ll write to you all again when ready and continue to keep the website up to date.

In the meantime the consultation period will continue, so please do continue to send us your thoughts via email to welfordwind@torandco.com. If you would like to discuss any aspect of the proposal over the telephone please contact me on my mobile number below.

Kind regards

Naseby Energy vist South Kilworth Parish Council to outline their proposal for a new windfarm near the Hemploe Hills and propose to hold a public exhibition in the Village Hall on 11th Nov. This is a summary of the information to be sent to homes in the area.

‍

I am writing to inform you that Naseby Energy is in the early stages of exploring a potential wind farm proposal in the Welford and Stanford-uponAvon area of West Northants.  The area of search is bounded by the River Avon to the west, the A14 in the south, South Kilworth Road in the north and Northampton Road to the east.  The area of search is located wholly within the parishes of Welford and Stanford-upon-Avon within West Northants Council.  We have contacted these Parish Councils and local ward councillors of West Northants Council.  We have also written to other local parish councils and local ward councillors whose boundaries adjoin or lie close to the area of search.  These include the parishes of Clay Coton, Elkington and Lilbourne within West Northants Council and the parishes of South Kilworth, Swinford and Westrill and Starmore in Harborough District of Leicestershire. We are holding public exhibitions in November and December to present our initial proposal for a wind farm. Members of our team will be pleased to welcome you, answer your questions and receive your feedback. Monday 11th November, 3pm to 7pm at South Kilworth Village Hall LE17 6DS Thursday 12th December, 3pm to 7pm at Welford Village Hall NN6 6HU
