If you remove the whole argument about whether wind power is the way forward i cant see how this isnt a good place to put a wind farm. I have driven round there specifically to look at the visual impact and it really is not bad. The view from the top of Bowden towards the coast would obviously be changed but when climbing you wont even know they are there.
The objections are really based only on the visual impact from Belford and the A1 side, not the crags and whilst this is not an unpleasant view, it is not really anything special.
If people want renewable energy via wind farms they have to go somewhere and i feel this site is probably one of the more suitable ones in the area. I cant think of anywhere in North Northumberland that would not get massive objections to it so do we just have a blanket no to it all.
As i said at the start i am not commenting on whether wind farms are the way forward, jury is still out on that one. I am only adding my thoughts on the location of this one.
