Noisy wind farms face a crack down from councils following Government concern
complaints are not being taken seriously enough.
complaints are not being taken seriously enough.
Inspectors have to be on the site when the noise is worst, even though that could be in the middle of
the night. They also have to prove it is persistent even though it is difficult to know when the wind will
change.
To try and solve these problems the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra)
has commissioned research on how councils should be investigating noise.
“There is a possibility that local authorities are not currently investigating complaints about noise from
wind farms due to the absence of any formal technical guidance,” an internal document reads.

At least one in six of the 255 wind farms in Britain have received noise
complaints according to figures obtained by the Daily Telegraph.
But local authorities have never managed to prosecute on the grounds
of noise nuisance because it is so difficult to prove.
The main problem is the intermittent nature of noise from wind farms
that makes it difficult to measure.
