Do wind farms
interfere with Ministry of Defence activities?
The current MoD policy appears to reject any wind development application
within 74 km of air defence radars. However, the restrictions imposed
by the MoD are at odds with the rest of Europe, where only Germany imposes
a ban, which is set at 5 km. The Royal Society, has written to Ivor
Caplin, the Minister responsible for defence estates and the Department
of Trade and Industry, to seek greater progress in finding solutions
to the potential problems posed by wind turbines to air defence radar.
