date

Dear Mr. Davies

Project description here: Planning Reference P/2002/0538

Construction of 3 Wind Turbine Clusters at Cefn Coed, Glyn Ceiriog, Llangollen

I write to object to the proposed wind turbine development at Cefn Coed near Glyn Ceiriog, for the following reasons:

State your reasons here

Here are some key reasons which you could include in your letter....

1. significant visual impact in an area of outstanding landscape

2. probability of noise pollution

3. probability of electromagnetic interference (EMI)

4. significant traffic hazard in Selattyn during construction phase

5. significant impact upon wildlife habitat

6. lack of formal Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)

However you wish to lay out your letter you should always include the date and the planning reference number and project description after the salutation (ie, dear Mr..)

You do NOT have to write a great long academic argument against the turbines. You could simply list the reasons above and/or include one paragraph like this...

“I object to the proposal due to the size, nature, and location of this project, with its significant effects in terms of visual intrusion and potential noise impacts. I believe my quality of life will be adversely affected.”

You may also wish to include a demand for a formal Environmental Impact Assessment. You could use this phrase....

Please invoke a formal EIA.

WHATEVER YOU WRITE, DO IT TODAY! LETTERS MUST BE IN BY MONDAY 8TH JULY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT.
