Invariably, these relate to flight safety, which gives the objection a loud voice in the ear of the planning authority. This article presents an overview of what to expect and what to do for some of…
Where does wind turbine TV interference occur?
Wind turbines affect TV signals. In some cases, this causes noticeable interference at nearby residences. It is common for planning authorities to set conditions that obligate wind farm developers to investigate and mitigate any TV interference caused by their turbines. Moreover, disruption to TV services makes for bad press. Where…
Guidance for digital TV interference caused by wind turbines
Wind developments can interfere with digital television signals in their vicinity. This issue often gives rise to planning conditions that require prompt remediation of such issues. It can also lead to local opposition to or complaints regarding a wind farm. Various sources provide guidance on the issue, but the conclusions…
