Please come if you can. If not PLEASE make sure you register your view on the turbine via the ballot papers delivered through your doors. Remember every adult is entitled to a vote so if you need more forms you can download one <a href="https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1V0yixmNa55YUQ5OF9WaTFnU0k/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank">here</a>. You can email the completed ballot paper to <a href="mailto:nooultonturbine@gmail.com">nooultonturbine@gmail.com</a> or give it to a friend or neighbour to bring to the meeting.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Good news for campaigners at Scottow and Hempstead this week. Unfortunately not at Bodham though - imagine it might not be all over quite yet though....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And on that note thought we'd share the front page of yesterday's North Norfolk News.</span><br />

There is still time to get your letters in even though the initial deadline has passed. So please, if you haven't written to formally object yet please do so as soon as you can.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And here's a copy of an objection we've passed onto BDC which we received from Gerhard Heilig, a WWII Veteran who served at Oulton:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Thank you for letting me have this info about the projected wind
turbine at the former airfield of Oulton.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">I understand the necessity of establishing sources of clean and
renewable energy. However, this should be done with due regard to the
environment and the agreement of local residents. There are enough localities,
such as off-shore and out-of-the-way ones, where wind turbines can be placed
without bothering anyone. Oulton is certainly not one of these.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The people of Oulton are proud and actively engaged in the history
of their village. The former airfield is an important part of this and the
memory of those who have served there and have given their lives in the cause
of freedom is maintained and commemorated at the local memorial.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Oulton is no place for a wind turbine, it would be a blot on the
environment and an insult to the feelings of the residents of Oulton. </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Let my friends of Oulton free and find a less offensive home for
the wind turbine.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Gerhard Heilig</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Veteran of 214 Squadron who had served at Oulton.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

They show the view from 76m above the proposed turbine site which is just shy of what would be the tip of the turbine's propeller (77m). Obviously you can see the whole of the village of Oulton, however its interesting to note that you can see Blickling Hall's upper windows in the distance as well as Blickling Church next to it. On one of the shots of the area where the trees were felled you can also see Heydon Hall in the distance on the left.<br />
<br />
Although these historical buildings look small in the distance its important to remember that the scale of the wind turbine is huge in comparison so it certainly won't look quite so tiny when viewed in the opposite direction!<br />

<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The Forestry Commission have declared the felling of the trees officially illegal and have issued Bernard Matthews with a re-stocking notice. Once we have details on this we'll share them with you here. This news was broken by BBC Look East today - so tune in if you get the chance! You can also read about it here: <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-norfolk-21738858" target="_blank">BBC News Online</a></span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">We have some great aerial photos of the site where the trees were (not any more!). We've also got some photos and videos showing the view of the surrounding area from 76m up on the turbine site. Shows clearly where the turbine will be visible from which includes many parts of the Blickling Estate.... we'll share them in the</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> next day or two....</span></li>

Latest News:</span></h2>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Bernard Matthews have felled 342 trees (almost an acre) on the proposed wind turbine site - potentially illegally. The forestry commission have been in to investigate and Broadland District Council have been made aware of the tree culling as it seems neither organisation were either consulted or notified!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In fact the trees are exactly where they want to build the turbine and because they were in the way BM decided it would better to get rid of them before the planning application went in... In response to meia coverage on the subject they've said it was part of an "ecological review" and were removed because the trees may have caused an issue with the planning process for the turbine relating to bat colonies. This seems to us even more cynical! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The other major consideration that BM failed to take into account was that the company was ordered to put the trees up 22 years ago as a condition of their planning application to expand their poultry sheds on the site. The trees were supposed to screen the units from view. We're waiting to hear what Broadland planning have to say on this issue....</span><br />
