Broadview

The proposed Starbold wind farm is to be located on agricultural land close to Junction 12 of the M40, between the villages of Knightcote and Bishop’s Itchington in Warwickshire.

Since the project was first announced in September 2009, a full Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) has been carried out which has confirmed that the site is suitable for a wind farm development consisting of five wind turbines and associated infrastructure. The findings of the EIA will now be presented within an Environmental Statement that will be submitted as part of a planning application to Stratford-on-Avon District Council.

To date, we have hosted a number of public consultation events, including a trip for residents to an operational wind farm.  As part of our continued commitment to community involvement, we are conducting a further wind farm trip for residents, to Broadview’s operational four turbine Low Spinney wind farm in Leicestershire. The trip will take place on Saturday 4th February 2012. To find out more, please click here.

If approved, the scheme could be constructed and operational within 12 months and generate enough electricity to meet the annual needs of 4,788 households in the region. It would also lead to the displacement of electricity and associated carbon emissions generated by fossil fuelled power stations. In addition, should the wind farm be constructed, a community fund would be set up, equivalent to £2,500 per MW of installed capacity per annum.
