The close of last year (17 December 2013, to be precise) saw the commencement date for section 122 of the Localism Act 2011. This introduces a duty to consult the local community before making a planning application for wind turbine developments that involve the installation of more than two turbines, or where the hub height of any turbine exceeds 15m.

Surely section 61 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, which this act amends, is only applicable in England and Wales? As usual Scotland is way behind in protecting the general public from the effects of turbines.
