Wind Turbines

EDM number 611 in 1995-96, proposed by Colin Pickthall on 13/03/1996.

That this House, while recognising the value of wind turbines in producing renewable energy, is alarmed at the spread of these structures in areas of attractive landscape, particularly the up-lands of Cumbria and Lancashire; and urges the Secretary of State for the Environment to respond to the Countryside Commission's suggestion that PPG 22 be revised and strengthened to prevent the permanent defacing of many of this country's most attractive areas.

This motion has been signed by a total of 27 MPs.
