Feasibility study into your site

Wind Direct carry out feasibility studies prior to visiting a site. A desktop study will determine whether a location is likely to have a clear flow of good wind and space for a turbine. We look at the constraints that can reduce the usable space for turbines; such as residential dwellings, airports and any areas of ecological or cultural heritage value.

The cost-benefits of wind energy are proven, but it’s critical to have support from those that will be effected by the turbine. Once the project goes public, we launch a dedicated project website such as this to enable first class public consultation.

Apply for planning permission

Before submitting the planning application we prepare all the supporting documentation.

Consultations are made with various bodies such as the MoD, airports and the RSPB. We also carry out a number of in-depth studies looking at site design, turbine selection, wind monitoring and environmental impacts.
 

Ease of access to the site is one of many considerations
