The noise monitoring was completed at 6 locations around the site during October and November 2010.  Now, one year since the anemometer was erected, a landscape consultant is working in the area and will be visiting local properties and viewpoints in the week beginning 17th October to take stock photographs for the production of photomontages.

In June 2010 Torridge District Council granted permission for a 60 metres tall anemometer mast to be erected on site for a period of three years.  The meeting was farcical and DTOG is considering making representations to the Ombudsman.

The anemometer was erected on 6th October and is now giving everyone the chance to see just how large the turbines, at approximately twice the height, will be.

Arcus, acting for Bolsterstone, is seeking locations around the site to place microphones with the intention of starting to measure background noise levels in the third week of the month.

In March 2009, although planning permission for the wind farm at Dunsland Cross was refused by Torridge District Council, permission was granted for an anemometer mast to be erected at the site for a period of 12 months.  Bolsterstone allowed this permission to lapse in March 2010.

On 12th April, 2010, a new application was submitted for a 60 metres tall anemometer mast to be erected at the same site for a period of three years so that wind strength and wind shear can be measured.  This application has not yet been determined but it is expected to be granted permission.  The application number is 1/0318/2010/FUL.
