Latest News!Novera have withdrawn their windfarm proposalmore about this in the discussion forum! I'll keep this page for reference only Novera Energy:Novera is an independant renewable energy company with expertise in developing and operating a range of energy technologies including: landfill gas generation, hydro, onshore wind and advanced waste gasification. Currently Novera has one operational wind farm in Wales (.Mynydd Clogau 14.5MW), one in construction (Lissett Wind Farm in East Riding of Yorkshire 30MW), one consented (A'Chruach Wind Farm, Argyll 46MW), four wind farms in planning (totalling 53-58MW) and a further portfolio of sites at the pre-planning stage, of which Longhirst is one.Novera is a UK based renewable energy company which was founded in 1998. Novera Energy is a member of the BWEA and comply with their guidelines. Novera Energy is planning 2 wind farms in the vicinity of Morpeth.
I have invited Novera Energy to write an introduction of their project. I will publish it here, as soon as I receive it. Novera Energy have revised their site boundaries. As well I have noticed that the position of turbine no5 has moved slightly (~50m) to the southeast.
(click on the image) Novera have released information and a map of their noise monitoring in the area: You can view more information about this by clicking here and the map by clicking here. Novera write: "One point to note is that the locations on the map are the noise assessment locations and not necessarily exactly where the noise kits where located. This is because our consultants will assess the predicted noise levels at the closest noise sensitive receptor to the monitoring kit".Novera have supplied me with an Environmental Update for Longhirst. It provides information about the studies performed in the area (e.g. impact on birds, mammals, newts bats...) Interesting is the statement, that the Ministry of Defense have no objection to the Longhirst Wind Farm proposal, either in relation to military radar or low flying areas.

The full Environmental Assessment should be available to view in public locations once the planning application has been submitted. I will try to publish a copy on this page if I should get it .... 26.02.2009 Novera have published a further Environmental Update: Click here to view the document.
