 Do Jeremy or the Boutflour and Eaton families know that at a 400ft high Wind Turbine Farm is about to spring up across the Blackwater estuary on Bradwell, as the turbines are onshore, people worst affected are those with a visual amenity of 6km, White House Farm is in this zone !

I am sickened by this, campion. So much evidence is emerging that these wind turbines do not have anything like the benefits claimed for them and they are such eye sores. I sympathise with the people of the Dengie peninsular, which is where Bradwell Nuclear power station is, and those on the other side of the estuary. That is such a stunningly beautiful part of our coastline, this plan is so wrong. What puzzles me is that I believed that the people of the Dengie had put a stop to this proposal.

 In fact some members of this Forum will be directly affected by the blight that these German owned Turbines will bring. Essex County Council and the Present Government don't consider this part of Essex to have any Importance regarding Landscape, or Historical significance, let me point out that since becoming part of the Jeremy Bamber Forum and touring the Entire District, the buffoons that made the decision to allow this Greenwash Monstrosity need to get round to specsavers for a new "set of bins". For all those of you yet to visit the area, there are hidden gems of outstanding natural beauty that will knock your socks off.......

 Within the last two weeks road signs have been erected for the Construction traffic to leave the A12 at the Danbury junction then go through Danbury take a left at the roundabout for Maldon and then follow the black dots to Bradwell. The only mention of Bradwell Wind Farm is on the A12 sign. I have been very tempted to buy some yellow road sign spray paint and sabbotage the signs !!!!

 The Osea Caravan park, Vaulty Manor, all the Bamber Estates are going to be affected.

Tony Benn lives on the Dengie at wonderful Stansgate Abbey, Campion, Many of his aristocratic Wedgewood Benn ancestors are buried in St Lawrence's Church on the hill above the abbey and Ramsey Island next door - another place with stunning views. This is an outrage.

 As this directly affects Jeremy and his relations is He aware of the impact this will have. He can even see the area from Full Sutton just look on Google Earth.

I totally agree with you Campion.

Although it is years since I've been to Bradwell, that is where that little chapel St. Peter's is located.  I remember the walk - very bracing!

As for these turbines being an eyesore, I went on the pier at Southend last year and my friend pointed them out to me on the horizon - they can be seen for miles.

Closer to home, there's one in a garden near to me.  It looks most peculiar.

I've also read that they kill wildlife like birds and bats, which chase insects that are drawn to them either due to their colour or the heat they give out.

I feel the same about mobile phone masts.

 The site is land at Hockley Farm, Hockley Lane, Bradwell-on-Sea, Essex. This installation will set a Planning precedent giving the green light for more on shore Turbines, look out Leeds, Sheffield, Lincolnshire, in fact anywhere that these Enviromental Lunatics think they can foist this Greenwash onto an unsuspecting community. All of your special places will be wrecked by Foreign conglomerates. I cannot believe that it is right to be forced to pay tribute to Germans And Spaniards through electricity produced by something I loathe with a passion. I wonder whether Bamber, The Eaton's and Boutflour's feel the same ?

Actually, I used to know one of the people responsible for (some) of the turbine farms in Dengie.  For them it's just a business.

Don't they own our banks too?!!

 The thing is that something most surprising has cropped up from researching Jeremy's family's estate!

 I started writing a thread called Bamber Country some time ago, as the appeal decision was coming up I stopped posting on that thread and concentrated my effort on the appeal which unsurprisingly came to bugger all, as is to be expected when the CCRC is that bent. So since then I have continued to investigate the rest of the district that covers Bamber Country, I agree it is not case related but as the places include Bamber residences including WHF, Goldhanger where he used to live and various other villages where he would have gone to as part of his day to day life, I apologise to purists who are only interested directly in the case but most of the threads on here normally take a direction away from the intended theme. The next place Bamber Country was going was Mersea Island, then it was going to finish at Tolleshunt D'arcy And WHF. Mersea Island threw up something incredible....
